Pathway to permanent residency recognizes exceptional service of asylum claimants on front lines of COVID-19 pandemic
- Thread starter derin1010
- Start date
Thanks for sharing your experience, I was told to produce a notice of decision in order to get a back pay , and I had to explain that I didn’t go for hearing and only qualified through pathway program, therefore I only have COPR.It was a bit of back and forth with them. Anyway they still didn’t pay.
It's a bit poor decision on the side of CRA and Canada. Especially when you live here, working and filing taxes every year. I remembered reading a Human Right lawyer in Ontario challenging the government to review that law especially for kids born in Canada. It's like stealing their rights.
I have been here since 2018. Never had a hearing date till I applied for this pathway. I see the CCB yearly amount each year I file taxes hoping it could be paid after all but sadly you only see it with eyes.
As for me I will keep posting it to their pages and share it with any politician I meet, use any medium to express it for as long as I can, I am not doing it for myself but for later years, at least kids born in Canada should be able to get the CCB.

I am in the same shoes as you, If you ask me it’s a justiciable issue that needs to be reviewed by the court and this I told the agent I spoke with last, she was reading the rules to me that it’s either I am a protected person with a positive decision or temporary resident who is now a permanent resident. I told her that the rules has to be reviewed because there is an obvious gap and that is has a result of the pathway program. Interestingly, in January this year, I got a lump sum of 1,200 for the young child supplement for 2021. I told the agent that if you said I don’t qualify for CCB ,then why did I get back pay for young child supplement since one of the requirements is that you have to be eligible for CCB before 2021. And in my case, I only became a PR in September 2021. She was confused, I was put on hold for up to 30 minutes, she came back and told me it’s gst, I told her It’s not possible. I haven’t qualified for gst in the last 2 years and that is boldly stated in my Notice of Assessment and that I remember calling immediately to confirm what that particular 1,200 was for then in January, the person I spoke with said it’s back pay which I am qualified for.
Anyway moving on, they said they will write me a letter to further explain reasons for the rejection, I am patiently waiting for that then I will know what steps to take. It’s not even the back pay that is my concern , it’s their rules towards equality that is more important. You can’t be a society that is preaching equality and inequality at the same time. How I wish I can get a pro-bono lawyer to fight this.

You can imagine how confused they are. Honestly, that’s not equality. They just do whatever they want irrespective of the law.
I have been getting GST/HST from the first tax but never got the young child supplement. That shows how confused they are.
You’ll definitely know when you call to the CRA.
I believe once you file tax, be in status for the period, one should be qualified for the CCB.
Why display the CCB amount in ones tax filling each year when they aren’t paying it ?
It needs a push sincerely.
No i havent. I requested for medical request letter from the NiagaraFallsBRO-BRA, they replied me that the previous medical has been updated to my file. Even though there is no update on my ECAS about medical received.
Also i know couple of people who received COPR without asking them to withdrawal their claim

Yes you will need the police clearance from your country of birth and any other country that you have spent six months or more. This is mandatory

The law is very clear on this irrespective of our emotions.
