Re: Canadian child tax / benefit - how and who do you apply to.
Thanks Nikki, is it straight forward and does it start straight away?
Yes no back payments to make, but did earn pounds against a strong dollar.
I dont suppose you know anything about RESP's etc, do you? I want to start up a saving scheme for my little one to when we are settled.

The forms are straightforward enough and benefit starts straight away. I applied in December and was paid in January for both December and January.

Re: Canadian child tax / benefit - how and who do you apply to.
Thanks for all the replies, the reason I could claim it was (is for another 2 weeks) because I am here working for a Dept of the UK Govt.
I earn pounds and pay UK tax. Due to my spouse I took out my PR to run concurrently with my assignment. It ends on the 1st March, I then go home, resign and then return as a fully fledge expat.

Child and I are Brits and on an assignment with UK Govt. Due to spouse I applied for PR and UK born kid got duel nationality.
We return next week to the UK at end of assignment, tie up loose ends and re-enter Canada 8 weeks later as Bona Fide expats.
No job, no UK wage, no UK benefits, no UK ties, (well except passport)

Basically, you get treated as if you are still in the UK.

The Universal Child Care Benefit is only available until the child is 6. I'm not sure about the other (means tested) child benefit though.
