Assuming you have a government sponsored plan as opposed to a private pension, convert amounts to U.S. dollars and report as social security, adding to any social security payments you have from the U.S.  You might have to contact the Canadian tax authorities for information about tax withheld. If you can have them not withhold going forward that would simply things.
