I moved to the USA from Ontario in 1989 for a few years. Now OAS wants proof of the date I moved out of Canada. What document should I request from the US government that would satisfy the OAS requirement?

Hello,
Thank you for sharing your situation and question with us.
We can appreciate that you would be interested in this type of information.
You can find some helpful information on the Information Sheet for the Old Age Security Pension - Service Canada and the Old Age Security pension page on from the Government of Ontario. Here is an excerpt,
If you have not lived continuously in Canada since the age of 18, you must submit proof of all the dates you arrived in or left Canada for periods of over six months. You can do this by providing your passports, visas, airline, ship, and bus tickets, and other requested documents that prove your residence history in Canada.
When official documents are not available, additional evidence may be submitted such as school and census records, letters from employers, and contracts (mortgage, lease, etc.). Contact us for examples of acceptable proof. If you have already provided these documents to us, you do not have to provide them again.
The application kit contains more details about these requirements.
For more information you can call 1-800-277-9914 (from Canada and the United States) / 1-800-255-4786 (TTY: if you have a hearing or speech impairment and use a teletypewriter) / 1-613-957-1954 (from all other countries, collect calls accepted).
It is best to have your social insurance number ready when you call.
I hope this information is helpful. Please let us know if you have further questions and if there is any follow up to your question/situation. ===== Anna Settlement.Org Content and Information/Referral Specialist, CIRS Settlement.Org
