Canadian asks about CPP & OAS

First, Pension I read that it's possible to top up your pension years if your short
so it's possible to get full pension.

I lived in Canada for 13 years from age 18.
is it worth while to pay up my cpp for 7 years
so I can get full pension 65 ?
I now live in the us with over 10 years of pension earnings
so I will get full pension here. Would I be paid two pensions
by paying up my cpp ?

Second, I believe I may own rev can some money from 12 yrs
ago do I need to worry about it ? I think I read
about rev can having some amnesty programme.

I don't think I will ever live in Canada again as
a tax resident. I may visit for a few months.
In fact I'm considering leaving here (usa) for some cheap
warm year round location at retirement time.


Thanks,
