Would you like to apply for child benefits and are not sure where to start? CACI supports immigrants through every stage of their settlement and integration journey in Quebec.

I Have Children. Am I Eligible for Benefits?

In Quebec, if you have children, you may be eligible for two types of benefits

  1. The Canada Child Benefit (CCB) from the federal government (paid monthly).
  2. The Quebec Family Allowance (paid every three months by default, or monthly upon request)

The amount depends on:

  • The number of children;
  • Their age;
  • Your family income;
  • Your family situation (couple or single parent);
  • The type of custody arrangement (sole or shared).

Please bring the following documents with you during your visit:

  • Social insurance number for the applicant
  • Proof of status for the applicant and the children concerned
  • Birth certificate for the children concerned
  • Sample check from applicant or joint account
  • Two proofs of current address
