Congratulations!! All praises to God in the highest place. You won't be able to apply for child benefit until Ecopr. If you're in Ontario you can apply for OHIP with Aip.Can I apply for child benefits with AIP?
Do people apply for work permits with AIP?
How long does it take, and is it better to wait for ECOPR?
Yes you can apply for work permit have seen people applied for work permit with Aip but I am not sure of the timeline as we didn't apply for any work permit we just waited for Ecopr which came three months after aip thankfully.
All the best,
