HELP needed reg. Widow's Pension from deceased CANADIAN Husband

[Tondidi]

good afternoon, can somebody from CANADA help me?

My name is Toy. My husband to whom I was legally married since many years, died recently. Since almost 20 years, we lived in Chonburi Mueang area. He received Canadian Pension from CPP Canadian Pension Plan, OAS, Veterans Affairs, and OTPP.

Does anybodt know if I am entitled to Widow's Pension? If yes, how to apply for it?

Some Canadian relatives told me that I have to obtain an "Assessment of Assets" in English language, from a Thai Lawyer. Is it correct??? There are certainly some good lawyers in Thailand, but certainly also a certain number  of very greedy ones. Do you have any experience in this?

A quick answer and assistance would be highly appreciated.

 

Best regards from Toy!

As I understand it, Canadians get pensions from several sources.

I would say if your deceased husband was getting a military pension, I'd be almost certain you would qualify for a widow's pension. AFAIK every Commonwealth country does the same. The rest, I don't know.

My condolences for your loss, good luck.
