Pension question about Sponsored Mom

Hi everyone,

After 4 years my mother has finally arrived. Does anyone know what I need to do to transfer her pension here ? She’s from Romania.
Thank you !

So does she have a Romanian pension? If so, what sort is it? Is it a pension from her ex-job or the state or is it some form of private pension?

The one thing she could do with changing anything much is to continue to have a Romanian bank account and continue to have the pension paid into that, then transfer the money to her Canadian bank account via some form of money transfer services (e.g. TransferWise etc.).

Doesn't have to transfer it but must declare it on her taxes.
