The Application for Canadian Old Age, Retirement and Survivors benefits under the Agreement on Social Security between Canada and Italy form, ISP-5054-ITA, wants proof of my husband's date of departure from Canada when he returned to live permanently in Italy in 1978.
He was a Canadian Citizen when he left to return to Italy in 1978 but unfortunately did not conserve any proof such as his airline ticket.
He left on his Canadian passport so nothing was stamped in it when he left Canada or when he re-entered Italy. His entry into Canada in 1968 presents no problem: we have his immigration card with the date and city of entry stamped on it, plus we have his old Italian passport from that time.
It is his departure date from Canada in 1978 that is causing us problems. We DO have his Statement of Contributions to the CPP which shows him contributing from 1969 to1978.
On the other side of the ocean, in Italy, we have a similar statement in Italian showing he started making contributions from 1978 to the present.
I would like to know if these two statements together, of contributions from Canada and Italy, are solid proof of his tenure in Canada and then of his departure to leave to work in Italy once again, permanently.
Thank you. |
