US Social Security Disability Benefits for Canadian Resident
I am a resident of Canada and just started receiving US Social Security disability benefits. I am under the age of 65. Are my benefits taxable in Canada? I found an archived publication which states this benefit is not taxable but is this interpretration still valid? It is publication: IT-122R2 United States social security taxes and benefits.
Up until age 65, these are not taxable. IT-122 is pretty much obsolete, but the principal that disability payments are not income until age 65 , when they become regular SS payments, is still valid.

While it may sometimes seem as though Social Security benefits do not amount to very much and the program could run aground at any time, don't despair. There are a few little-known Social Security benefits and factoids that can make the most careful consumer happy. The only way to discover them is by doing the research yourself, and not waiting for Social Security Administration to expose useful information.

I never recommend USC's living in canada not file, since there are so many other reporting requirements, but froma strictly incoem point of view, no.
This would assume no interest is being paid, no RRSP, etc.
