Re: child care and child benefit
we have funds and excellent job prospects, our daughter was on the application prior to pregnancy, we are just curious that once we are out there
would she be entitled to any child benefit or help with childcare initially (temporary) untill she finds a job, because the baby willl be less than 1 year old when we go she obviously would like time to be a mother example maybe un till the baby is about 18 months........., we had curiosity hence why we asked on this forum, "to find out where we stand"

Re: child care and child benefit
Hi
We've been in the same situation with daughters new baby. We had to wait until baby was born and have consent form filled in. But to get around this we did not add the fathers name on the birth certificate, act ignorant. Once filled in we then added the Grandchild as an addition, sent forms off and waited for the medical process. Didn't take long and the medical was nothing to worry about. Although I think this has slowed up our application.
If the daughter is still at home with baby then you have no worries about the children being dependant on your application. Once the daughter leaves home then this is questionable.
We had our medicals between Jan/April '10 and still waiting!!! A little worrying.

Re: child care and child benefit
thanks for that information, in our case the father wants his name on the birth certificate, he is in the british army and thinks he can get posted out to canada or join the canadian army at some point, i havent got a clue about that but as long as he signs that form thats all i am concerned with

Re: child care and child benefit
From the CIC site:
Dependent children
A son or daughter is dependent when the child:
is under the age of 22 and does not have a spouse or common-law partner
etc...

Re: child care and child benefit
Hi
Good that you got the consent
My daughter also got involved with gentleman from US Airforce got VERY complicated but all turned out for the better, kind off! Long, long story. How kids change everything So wished application didn't take soooo long.
Anyway, baby now 7 months old and will need to take him on as our own for some years, or until she marries someone. I'm thinking for her to study in Canada and we'll share the child-care responsibilities. I knew there was limitation for help with child-care/benefits. Just wait until you get there and then work it all out, something will get sorted. Give yourself time to settle, meet people and get her to connect with other mums. Don't worry too much about the finance side for now. One step at a time.
There's no way to chase up PR applications. The doctor confirmed medicals have all been sent to London. I think there's a delay probably because they're checking out on everything.

Hi
This is one of the reasons why we didn't name the father. But I suppose you could put the fathers name down, then get consent sorted but say they're not in a relationship??

If on the other hand they are in a spousal relationship then all bets are off. CIC arent chumps, and they do investigate before PR is granted.

Re: child care and child benefit
I'm sure they do!
Anyway they still can say no to the daughter/Grandchild but grant PR to main applicant and spouse.

Or (more likely) if the information on your application is found to be false or misleading the whole application may be refused, you may be refused entry to Canada or you may be deported from Canada after you arrive.

Re: child care and child benefit
I know they haven't asked this and it really is none of my business but unless the child's father is willing to support the child properly then his name does not go on the certificate. I wouldn't even do it initially- I think you have time to add him at a later date. I would definitely not add his name until he had signed to say he didn't mind the child leaving the country. Solicitors need to be involved if he is named as the father.
