Canadian Citizen receiving US Social Security Benefits

[KrisR]

Filing Form 1040NR for client who is a Canadian citizen receiving US social Security beneits (less than $3K) as well as rental income. My understanding is the Social Security benefits is excluded from US tax by Treaty. Can anyone please confirm if this is correct, and if so, what is the Tax treaty Article?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Why don't read the treaty?

you're correct. 
it's U.S.-CA treaty article: XVIII(5) /4P2(2)

Much appreciated!!!
