On February 16, 2021, LEAF sent a letter urging Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to extend the Canada Child Benefit (CCB) to all children in Canada regardless of their parents’ immigration status.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The CCB is one tool in addressing the feminization and racialization of poverty in Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not every child in Canada, however, or every family in need, is eligible for the CCB. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Excluded from accessing CCB are refugee claimants and other individuals who are living in Canada with precarious status \u2013 even if they are legally working and filing a personal income tax return. In some cases, these families have Canadian born children, but are still denied CCB because of the parents\u2019 immigration status.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The denial of CCB to low-income families on the basis of status constitutes a violation of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms<\/em> and a breach of Canada\u2019s obligations under the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As women are still the primary caregivers for children in most Canadian families, the denial of CCB also has a disproportionate impact on women. This reinforces pre-existing gendered poverty.\u00a0 Furthermore, as the vast majority of people with precarious immigration status are people of colour, this exclusion adversely impacts racialized communities \u2013 the communities that already face a higher risk of poverty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
