Self employment income should also be on the 2555.  If you are referring to SE tax (Social Security and Medicare), is the taxpayer also paying SE tax to Canada?

Rental and pension income is not "earned", so that does not go on the 2555.  If they are paying foreign taxes, you may be able to use the Foreign Tax Credit on Form 1116.
