NI credit for years in Canada 🇨🇦
My pension is due next August. I will be short 2 years for full pension. When I moved back to England from Canada in 1994 I was told by HMRC that at pension age I could get credit for years in Canada as my 4 daughters were born there and qualified for child benefit as soon as we moved back to England. My question is, is this still the case and how would I go about applying for those years? What proof would you need as this was before emails etc, but i have my 4 daughters Canadian birth certificates. I was told the Canada and England have a reciprocal agreement regarding this issue. Please let me know if this is the case and could I apply now for the credit as I am getting close to pension age. I only need 2 years although would have many more qualifying years if my Canada years are accepted.,Thank you
