Immigration

[Lija]

Hello everyone,

First of all, I have no idea where to add this thread to, so I hope this is the correct one.

I would like to get some suggestions about my situation, any comment will be really appreciated.
I came to Canada with a student visa, and I have a 3 years old Canadian daughter for whom I applied for a subsidy one year ago. Now, they have contacted me saying that I may be eligible for the subsidy but I have to update my information about my studies which I am done with. All this time my parents have been taking care of my daughter while I was studying full time and working part-time. So, my question is, would it be beneficial for my parent's immigration status and future permanent residency application, to say that they were taking care of her? Also, about the subsidy, would it be better to tell them that, or simply say that I was paying a babysitter?

Thank you for all your comments and suggestions!

No. Your parents taking care of your daughter will be seen as illegal work. Having a Canadian grandchild does not help their or your future status at all.

Don’t lie about paying for a babysitter.

Which subsidy are you referring to?

Lying about paying a babysitter in order to claim benefits is fraud.

Don't tell them you were paying for a babysitter when you weren't. This is fraud. You don't want to end up on the wrong side of CRA. If you do, this will haunt you for years.

Child Care Fee Subsidy

Child Care Fee Subsidy

Since your parents are taking care of your child for free, you should not apply for this.

My parents are here with visit visa only so they are going back home soon, that's why I asked if by taking care of my daughter can help them to stay here for more time.

Ahhhh. Got it.

Yeah unfortunately not. You can try to ask for an extension while you look for a day care.
