Not that this would ever apply to me as my parents have worked very hard since immigrating here back when they were in their early 20s and have not taken a vacation to anywhere (besides the odd trip to Vancouver) for 20+ years....but if this were to hypothetically happen to me, I would still let them live with me at my house, I just wouldn't be giving them any money. One thing good about Canada. If you have a roof over your head, OAS will be enough to care for all your other basic needs when you're old.
