It depends on the benefit., some require 'habitual residence', and can't be claimed until at least 3 months have passed. More info here - https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/be...ming-benefits/

I assume they're both UK citizens as well, so no need for visas? Is your granddaughter planning on working or studying?

Not likely to get unemployment benefit if they are only just moving back to the UK .....

Not likely to get job seekers allowance with no NI record.

https://www.gov.uk/jobseekers-allowance

Eligibility

To be eligible for ‘new style’ Jobseeker’s Allowance (JSA) you’ll need to have both:
  • worked as an employee
  • paid Class 1 National Insurance contributions, usually in the last 2 to 3 years (National Insurance credits can also count)
You will not be eligible if you were self-employed and only paid Class 2 National Insurance contributions, unless you were working as a share fisherman or a volunteer development worker.

You are all relocating from Canada? I take it you, your spouse and your daughter were all born in the UK but your granddaughter was born in Canada?
