Can hospital bill for birth be claim as well?

[bidjos86]

When our first child came into the world in 2020, my wife was still not a permanent resident of Canada. I was serving my country as a Canadian citizen and a member of the Canadian Armed Forces, doing everything I could to support our growing family. Despite finally receiving her permanent residency after giving birth, the financial burden from that time has never fully lifted. To this day, we continue making monthly payments of $100 to the hospital in Quebec. As of December 31, 2025, we still carry a remaining balance of $12,843.90. What should have been a joyful beginning for our family has instead followed us for years, becoming a quiet but constant weight on our shoulders. Can we claim any of these?

I would recommend contacting the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) and checking with them. 

If you are in Canada or the United States, you can call the CRA at 1-800-959-8281. If you are elsewhere, you can call 613-940-8495. This page has more ways to contact the CRA: Contact the Canada Revenue Agency
