Topic: Canadian Citizen: Need Landing Paper to apply OAS?

Ottawadrew123

To the moderator,

My mother applied for her OAS and was sent a letter asking her to provide proof of entry (to Canada). She arrived in 1977. She has never left.

The documents listed as acceptable are:
- records from citizenship amd immigration canada.
(My mom came to Canada for medical services that her family paid for. She did not intend on staying here. So she did not apply for permanent residence staus when she landed. She became a permanent resident in 1981.
- certified photocopy of complete passport
(Are they looking for her passport from 1977? Because her current passport obviously doesnt have stamps from 1977)
- customs declaration
(She had nothing to declare)
- airline ticket
(Seriously... she doesnt have it)
- bus ticket
(Seriously... she doesnt have it)
- ship ticket
(Seriously... she doesnt have it)

Pleae help. What documents can we give them to satisfy this witchhunt?
