Hello,
We had our twins Dec 2016 in Toronto and after staying for 2 months, we returned to our home country in Feb 2017. After birth, I have applied for Child Benefit back in dec 2016 and after returning from Canada this Feb, CRA started sending Child Benefit, HST, OTB cheques to my canadain postal address (my cousin's home address). Pls note, I didn't do direct deposit while I was in Canada so CRA is sending these cheques since Mar 2017. Now I got the following questions:
1. As we (me, my wife, and kids) are not staying in Canada, so will it create any problem in future from CRA?
2. Though I have applied Child Benefit for my two twins, but from the beginning I am getting cheque of my one kid. So I directly contact with CRA regarding this issue?
3. If I call CRA from outside Canada, can they trace that? and will it be a problem?
If needed I am ready to payback the cheque amount to CRA anytime
Appreciate you advice.
I very rarely rebuke people; however, I am making an exception for you.
To break down your response,
1) You are taking benefits from the Canadian government for which you are not entitled.
2) You want even more money (as per statement 2) when you are not even entitled to what you are currently getting.
3) You ask if CRA can trace your call. Not only does this demonstrate illegal intent, I am truly appalled that such a thought would even cross your mind.
While I don't know you, based on your post you seem to have a serious lack of integrity and ethics. The government of Canada so graciously opens the doors to hundreds of thousands of people, you included, at a time when the rest of the world is closing their doors shut. Despite the government granting you numerous rights, they don't ask for much in return.
Yet, your way of repaying the country has given you an opportunity for a new life is by defrauding it and exploiting its benefits -- benefits it is able to provide because hard working, law-abiding Canadians work hard and pay their taxes.
Why should the tax money of hard working Canadians go to you, a person who only tries to see rights while ignoring obligations?
Give my one single reason why you feel you are entitled to tax money?
What have you ever done for Canadians or the economy that makes you think you are entitled to this money?
These questions are not rhetorical, I would actually appreciate if you could answer them.
To put icing on the cake, you then try to argue that what you are doing is legal. The law is designed to be viewed as a whole, not just as individual parts. (What others have referred to as cherry picking.)
Based on your interpretation, either you have very serious problems in comprehending the English language, in which case I would recommend taking classes (and not the free taxpayer-funded ones) or you are so totally self-absorbed that you actually believe you qualify as resident. Either way, not only are you wrong, you need to seriously reconsider your ability accurately interpret written information.
The reason you were granted Permanent Residence is so that you can contribute to Canada's economic, social, and cultural prosperity, NOT so you can be a free loader trying to claim social benefits without paying your taxes. Shame on you.
I sincerely urge you to reconsider your desire to be a Permanent Resident of Canada. You clearly seem to have very little attachment to and affection for Canada. If you had even a ounce of integrity, affection, or attachment to Canada you wouldn't be trying to defraud her.
People like you are the reason many Canadians are slowly changing their views on immigration. It is because of people like you anti-immigration sentiment exists, affecting honest, hardworking, tax-paying people in the process. You should be disgusted.
The law has a funny way of catching up with people who try to circumvent it. Individuals like you may be successful in the short run, but you can only get lucky so many times.
Please do the right thing and repay what you are not entitled to. At least you can sleep at night knowing that you are not completely incorrigible.
