Yao v. The King, 2024 TCC 19 (Informal Procedure) -- summary under Paragraph (e)

Bocock J held that he was bound by the decision in Almadhoun that as a matter of statutory interpretation of s. 122.6 – eligible individual - s. (e)(ii) of the Canada child benefit (the “CCB”) provisions, the CCB was not available to refugee claimants such as the Appellants, as “a refugee claimant is not a temporary resident and is therefore not an eligible individual for the purposes of section 122.6” (para. 54). He also found that the exclusion of refugee claimants from the CCB was not contrary to s. 7 or 15 of the Charter.
