US FICA - social security tax

QUESTION:

My wife and I are Canadians living in the US since 1994, as physicians,
first on J-1 and H-1B visas, now both on O-1 visas. We have filed US taxes
every year since. Did we have to pay social security taxes? If we move back
to Canada can we recoup any of it?
Thanks
