I recently received a letter from the CRA regarding the Canada child tax benefit and the female presumption rule.
Background
Today my GF receive a letter from the CRA asking if she was the person primarily responsible for the care and upbringing of my kids and if so she is to sign a form and return to the CRA. This letter also asked to provide proof of citizenship which I find odd as we are both Canada citizens
I also received a letter asking to provide proof of citizenship which again I find odd since I was born in Canada and so were my parents their parents and so on.
If we don't send in this letter the CRA will apply the female presumption rule.
Anyone see this before?
