Bilateral social security agreement between Canada and Bulgaria that coordinates pension systems, prevents double contributions, allows totalization of contribution periods across borders, and ensures pension portability for cross-border workers, retirees, and their families.

Deleting this coordination agreement would create regulatory barriers for Canadians working or retiring in Bulgaria, risk double taxation, fragment pension contributions, and reduce legal certainty for international mobility. The agreement reduces friction rather than imposing new burdens, facilitating voluntary cross-border arrangements and protecting property rights in earned benefits.
