Canada New Immigrants: How to Apply for Child Care Tax Benefit and the GST/HST Credit

June 10, 2015 by Jennyfer Tan Leave a Comment

One of the very first thing that we did (after getting our Social Identification Number) after landing in Vancouver as a new immigrant is to apply for the Child Care Tax Benefit (CCTB) and the GST/HST credit. The CCTB is "a tax-free monthly payment made to eligible families to help them with the cost of raising children under age 18."  while the GST/HST credit is "a tax-free quarterly payment that helps individuals and families with low and modest incomes offset all or part of the GST or HST … [Read more...]

New Immigrants: Our Vancouver Landing Experience

June 4, 2015 by Jennyfer Tan Leave a Comment

We arrived via PAL on March 29, 2015, 8:10pm PST (left March 29 11:45pm PHL time). We arrived on time, alighted the plane, took a family picture (haha), with the waterfall just before the immigration area, then went straight to the Immigration Counter. We were the 3rd one in the line, the officer asked us our purpose of visit, we told them for landing, as new immigrants, he then proceeded on asking us if we have been to a country that had Ebola in the last 2 weeks, we said no. After typing in … [Read more...]

Canada: An Answered Prayer

May 26, 2015 by Jennyfer Tan Leave a Comment

I left my blog unattended for more than 6 months, and for a very good reason.  We left the country that I have called home for 39 years.  I was born and raise in Manila, Tagalog is my native tongue, I can speak better Tagalog that I can speak Fuk Yuen and Mandarin (especially Mandarin!).  But because my husband and I want a better future for our 2 kids, we decided to take a leap of faith and applied to migrate to Canada. We sent our application last May 2014 under the Federal Skilled Worker … [Read more...]
