As this "Lost Canadian" continues to wait for my final four documents to arrive so I and my family are able to request our official Canadian citizenship (because of Bill C-3 - which says if you have Canadian ancestors - and I have 15 ancestors who were born in Canada since 1800 - you are already a Canadian - a "Lost Canadian" - and if you are able to document your direct line to a Canadian-born ancestor, you are able to receive your Canadian citizenship!). It will be worth the wait, so I am trying to be patient!
As I wait, I continue to learn more about Canada. In light of the tremendously rude and disrespectful way the massively corrupt convicted felon/sexual abuser who currently occupies the white house here in the US has been talking about and treating our dear neighbors, friends, allies, and family in Canada, I am spending this week just learning about Canada - and sharing what I learn about how Canada is an amazing place - I believe I could learn about and share about this for more than a week, but I will begin with a week, starting with Canada is amazing because they actually are making everyday life better for their citizens! On Canada.ca I learned . . .
- Canada provides Employment Insurance (EI) benefits if you have lost your job through no fault of your own.
- Sickness benefits if you’re unable to work due to illness, injury, or quarantine.
- Maternity and parental benefits if you're pregnant, have recently given birth, are adopting a child, or are caring for your newborn.
- Caregiving benefits if you’re providing care or support to someone who is critically ill or injured, or in need of end-of-life care.
- The Canada Groceries and Essentials Benefit (CGEB) provides tax-free quarterly payments to individuals and families with low and modest incomes to help manage the rising costs of everyday essentials.
- The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) is helping make the cost of dental care more affordable for eligible Canadian residents.
