My weekend has got of to a wonderful start. I got home from work to find a letter from the CRA (tax) advising that one of the tax credits that I didn't qualify for when married because our joint salary was too high, I now qualify for since I'm separated and only have my salary and that they'd deposited just over $200 into my account covering the period from July 1-October 31, with 2 more payments coming next year(January and April). And then to make things even better, when I checked the bank balance I found another $150 from the government which I suspect represents the back payment on the increased child tax benefit that I know qualify for.
Christmas came early LOL At least now I can get this week's groceries without having to take a calculator with me to make sure I don't spend more than I have in the bank, and I can do a bit more Christmas shopping or maybe some new clothes for work.
Thank you very much to the Canadian government.
