International Social Security Agreements for foreign workers
The foreign worker you hire may eventually be eligible for benefits paid
by a foreign country that has signed a social security agreement with
Québec. Consequently, once in Québec, foreign workers should
check whether a social
security agreement applies to their situation.

Do you want to dispatch an employee abroad?
When you dispatch an employee abroad, you are required to make social security
contributions. Contact the Bureau des ententes de sécurité sociale
(BESS), an office of the Régie des rentes du Québec,
to obtain a certificate of coverage that will allow you to save by making
contributions only to Québec. However, dispatched employees must
meet certain requirements.
