Leslie said:To get welfare here, off the top of my head, they require:
Birth Certificate for all adults or proof of Citizenship
Signature ID
Proof of Address (government letter, utility bill, lease, etc)
Birth Certificates for all children
Health Cards for everyone
Proof that the children attend school or proof of School Board's permission to home school.
Social Insurance card, or ample letters from Revenue Canada to prove such.
All addressed stuff has to go back and match to the same proof of address paper.
also, they require/request employment documentation and bank information. Not having either of those requires a whole whack of investigation.
Not having just one of those documents will disqualify you from procuring welfare, or any other government benefit dealies.
To get the kids into school - again, if you can't provide it, the kids can't go
Birth Certificate or Proof of Citizenship
Health Card
Proof of Address (utility bill in the parent's name, a lease, etcetera)
Immunization card
To go get any of this shit legally is hell on earth. To get it faked and have it all tie in together with everybody would be doubleshitty.
I dunno, somehow it works here.
Um, no ... not really. That's what it takes to get it as a Canadian. As an immigrant, there's all kinds of loopholes. First off is that "your paperwork is in process". That usually hops three quarters of the red tape.
