Child Benefit???
Am I entitled to child benefit in Canada? We have been here over three months & both working.
Can anyone advise. Has anyone else got it?
Thanks

Re: Child Benefit???
hi - i see that the universal child benefit is only for children under 6. Does anyone know if there is a child benefit type scheme for children older than this or do all benefits stop on their 6th birthday.
Thanks
Thanks

The Child Tax Benefit applies to children under 18.

Re: Child Benefit???
No problems. Remember that Universal Child Benefit and Child Tax Benefit are two different benefits with different rules. You can follow the links in the wiki to the CRA website where it is explained in more detail.

Thanks for reminding me to print out the forms
Just a quick question, does anyone know how they assess your childcare costs??and roughly how much you get back?
We pay over $1400 a month for childcare.....but can't find a calculator or explanation of how it works anywhere on the websites.

This claim MUST be made by the lower earning spouse of a couple, or by a single parent.
This effectively reduces your taxable income so you get back your eligible childcare expenses x your marginal tax rate.
