The hospital would give you information how to apply Birth Certificates, Health card and SIN card. We did it online and they came very quick.
There are two types of child tax benefits you can claim. I applied them when I filed my income tax through my accountant. If you have questions for this type of child tax benefit, call CRA at 1800-387-1193, they were very helpful and friendly to answer all my questions last week.
1. Universal Child Care Benefit for children under the age of 6 years and is paid in instalments of $100 per month per child. This one is for everyone no matter how much income you make.
2.The Canada Child Tax Benefit is for eligible families to help them with the cost of raising children under age 18. This one is not for everyone. Only for family income below $100K per year. If your family make over $100K, you can not get this type of child tax benefit.
