What financial benefits can new immigrants get in Canada?
Rounding it up
Immigration is a big decision. Luckily, the Canadian government provides benefits that can ease the transition.
For example, the Canada Child Benefit (CCB) is designed to offset some of the cost of raising children under 18.
Goods and services tax/harmonized sales tax (GST/HST) credit helps low and moderate income individuals reduce some of the taxes that they pay on goods and services.
Your province or territory will also offer distinct benefits for its residents. Apply for any of these benefits as soon as you receive your social insurance number.
