    Hi,

    Two years ago I worked in British Columbia for 4 months.

    Does this mean I have any right to claim a Canadian pension upon retirement in Ireland?

    Thanks,
    Hugo

    Apart from mentioning the country, you have provided zero information like whether you were in the public or private sector and whether you made any contributions etc. etc. But even if you did, I doubt if there are many people on board who are up to speed on Canadian pensions.

    In most environments, you will accumulate no entitlements if you leave before you have clocked up a minimum level of service and my guess is that 4 months will get you no benefit whatsoever. At best you can ask for a refund of any contributions you made but it's highly unlikely you will get a pension.

    No, you don't have any right.
