Hello landed immigrants and new residents. I want to start another thread which will help all of us. For us, newbies, settlement is not easy - it is harder to find a job, upgrade skills, make new connections, start new business, find child care, school for our kids, cheaper grocery store... the list goes on.
Let's share this valuable information: LET'S FIND OUT WHAT WE ARE ELIGIBLE FOR. WHO AND WHAT CAN HELP US AND HOW WE CAN HELP OURSELVES.
MY FIRST CONTRIBUTION:
INFO ABOUT TAX CREDIT TO FIRST YEAR RESIDENTS:
As a newcomer to Canada, you may be eligible for the goods and services/harmonized sales tax (GST/HST) credit, the Canada Child Tax Benefit (CCTB), and/or the Universal Child Care Benefit (UCCB) payments in the year you became a resident of Canada.
