Hi Guys,

Please does anyone knows if Canada Child Benefit is considered social assistance as am about to sponsor my wife for PR and i don't want to apply for it if it will make me ineligible to sponsor.

Thanks

No this is not Social Assistance. Social Assistance is also known as welfare. If you are in receipt of that, you'd know... CCB is a tax-rebate program to encourage and assist Canadians in building families.
