Canada Child Benefit, commonly known as the "milk money," is a monthly subsidy that can be received for each child from birth until they reach the age of 18. For new immigrants arriving in Canada, how do you determine if you are eligible for the Canada Child Benefit? How do you apply? What documents are required? Worldway will provide a detailed introduction for all our immigrant friends.
