Social Security and Federal Benefits Questions

The Social Security Administration (SSA) has consolidated its overseas operations and will no longer be offering social security assistance through the United States Embassy or Consulates in Canada. Individuals residing in Canada who require social security services or have questions about SSA benefits must contact their nearest SSA field office in the United States.

Information on U.S. Social Security enrollment and benefits can be found on the website of the Social Security Administration: http://www.ssa.gov/

For questions regarding your application or your benefits, residents in Canada can find their designated field office on the SSA website for Canada: https://www.ssa.gov/foreign/canada.htm

For general information on SSA services for people living outside the United States, please visit: https://www.ssa.gov/foreign/

Please note that you must apply for a social security number at a U.S. Social Security Administration office which can be found at SSA’s website for Canada: https://www.ssa.gov/foreign/canada.htm .
