The Canada Pension Plan account is projected to grow from $33 billion in 1999 to $100 billion by the end of 2007, of which $70-$90 billion would be available for management by the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board.
The Canada Pension Plan Investment Board was created in 1999 as part of a general reform of the Canada Pension Plan to move from pay-as-you-go to partial funding.
CPP contributions are expected to exceed benefit payments until 2021, so the plan will not require cash from the Fund for another 20 years.

Moreover, the current definition of disability employed by the Canada Pension Plan requires applicants to have a disability that is both severe and prolonged.
This requirement is different from a number of private insurance plans and even workers' compensation programs which relate initially to a person's inability to do his or her current job.

 Social Security and Canada Pension Plan | Ask MetaFilter
Canada and the U.S. have a treaty that governs the relationship of the two countries' social security plans.
The basic deal is this: they don't want to be collecting social security contributions for both countries out of the same paycheck (ouch!), and in return, any given period of work counts only for one country, not the other.
An additional provision of the treaty goes like this: if you don't qualify for a pension, each country will count time worked in the other country for purposes of pension calculation, and see if you qualify that way.
