I'm a Canadian in Australia. Can I still get my K pension transferred to my bank account? Is this possible?

I think you need to give more details if you want a serious answer.

Have you already left Korea after working here and are now living in Australia? If you left without applying for your pension refund first, then no, you can't get it while you're in Australia. You should have done it before you left.

You can apply for it if you return to Korea. You can also apply for it through the Canadian government (HRDC) if you return to Canada. But it will take over a year for them to even look at your application.

You could try to find out if you can lodge the application by mail somehow. Perhaps that is possible.
