We are Indian couple landed in Vancouver on LMIA based work permit on Dec 2019. We are having a baby this month and wondering if we are eligible for CCB Benefits.
I have done research and noticed that Indians can take advantage of this benefit even if some one is not lived for 18 months in Canada. But I am still wondering if this is true or not. these are following conditions we met except 18 months but there is an last option highlighted which pertains to us. Can some one let me know if they have done similar.
You must meet all of the following conditions:
