Child Benefit Scheme Checks to Be Issued to Canadian Parents This Week

Child Benefit Scheme checks will be issued to Canadian parents this week, despite the ongoing Canada Post worker strike. Families with children under 18 will receive the November payment under the Canada Child Benefit program on Wednesday.

However, there is relief for parents who are waiting to receive checks in the mail, as Canada Post and the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) have assured that the cheques will still be delivered.

The CRA confirmed that Canada Post has agreed to deliver the Canada Child Benefit cheques, as well as those for related provincial programs, without interruption on November 20.

Additionally, the CRA noted that it has a special arrangement with the Canadian Postal Workers Union to ensure the timely delivery of cheques for the Canada Child Benefit Program, Canada Pension Plan, Old Age Security, and provincial socio-economic programs.
