Hi, me and my wife we are both naturalized Canadians. Our baby is born abroad 3 months ago and now we are back to Toronto since we live here.
My daughter has an English certified birth certificate from the court of the country where she was born, also she has Canada passport and OHIP. She is still waiting to receive her citizenship certificate and she does not have her SIN card yet.
I would really appreciate this forum's help to guide me to the right path.
My questions are:
1) Can I apply SIN card before getting the citizenship certificate? For example use my daughter's Canada passport?
2) Do I need to wait for my daughter's SIN card before applying for benefits: Canada child tax benefit (CCTB), National Child Benefit (NCBS), Universal Child Care Benefit (UCCB)?
3) I see that for babies born in Canada, parents can use the Automated Benefits Application (ABA) to apply for all benefits, but for my situation assuming that I have everything required ready, how do I go about applying for the three benefits listed in point #2?
Thanks a lot!
