A Nigerian woman residing in Canada, Nkechi Bianze, shares the child support amount she receives from the Canadian government.
Nkechi clarified that Canada provides monthly payments to parents with custody of children, usually directed to the mother or female guardian unless specified otherwise.
She enthusiastically expressed her appreciation for Canada and elaborated on the child benefit program in a post on her Facebook page.
Nkechi showcased her dashboard indicating an upcoming payment of CAD 5,577.75 (equivalent to over N6 million) as a child benefit scheduled for March 20. She humorously questioned whether she was not entitled to the funds.
In her part;
“WHY I LOVE CANADA
Canada pays monthly child benefits to any parent with custody. If a married couple both have custody of their children, the child benefits are usually paid to the woman/mom, except otherwise stated. So, I get and will continue to get the benefits for our children, till they are 18 or till we become very rich.”
