If the Canadian was a legal employee (had a green card), and their wages were reported by the employer on Form 941, their eligibility is the same as a US citizen. To be eligible for benefits, you must earn 40 "credits". You can earn up to 4 credits per year; you receive 1 credit for each $1,000 of wages. So, as long as the Canadian earned at least $4,000 per year for ten years, they can apply for retirement benefits. You can apply early and receive reduced benefits starting at age 62; or receive full benefits if you apply at your retirement age - between 65 and 67 depending on your date of birth.
