needed was a valid picture ID or a piece of mail that showed your
address. At least in the states. It's going a while before I can apply
for a Canadian library card.

You might show a lease to a lot of people though. Library cards come to
mind, and registering a child in school and proving residency for
tuition purposes at a state college are all reasons why I have showed
someone a lease in the past. Even if one of these applies to him,
though, the question still remains as to why the US government is
interested in the lease of a Canadian citizen living in Canada. And how
they got it, above all.
