👉As Canada faces a surge in refugee claimants, Conservative MP Lianne Rood revealed that the government allocates $224 per day for food and accommodation to some asylum seekers awaiting processing. Documents uploaded by Rood showed that on average, accommodation costs $140 per night per room, with an additional $84 per day per claimant for meals. This figure could rise further when factoring in other provided items like toiletries and medicines. Rood criticized the government, highlighting the contrast with support for Canadian seniors.

👉The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) is set to distribute the second quarterly HST/GST payment on October 5, 2023, benefiting eligible Canadian taxpayers. The GST/HST credit, a tax-free allowance, is provided to individuals and families with low to modest incomes four times annually, aiming to offset the goods and services tax and harmonized sales tax (GST/HST) they incur. Eligibility criteria include being a Canadian resident for income tax purposes at the beginning of the payment month and being at least 19 years old the month before the CRA's quarterly disbursement. Those under 19 must meet specific conditions, such as having a spouse or common-law partner or being a parent living with their child during the same period.✅ . . #Canada #GSTPayment #2023 #Taxes #ImmigrationNews #CanadianGovernment #FinancialUpdates #mnm #malayalisnearmeapp #canadaupdate #canadanews

👉The Canadian government has taken a strong stance, calling on Meta (formerly Facebook) to lift its recent ban on sharing domestic news on its platforms. This move comes as concerns escalate over the ban's impact on disseminating critical wildfire information in Western Canada. The ban was enacted by Meta in response to a new law that requires internet giants to compensate for news content. However, residents in wildfire-stricken regions, such as the remote northern town of Yellowknife, have expressed frustration as they're unable to share vital fire-related updates through Facebook and Instagram due to the ban. Heritage Minister Pascale St-Onge criticized Meta's decision, labelling it as "reckless," and emphasized the detrimental effect on access to essential information during emergencies. As the crisis unfolds, the Canadian government underscores the urgent need for reinstating news sharing on social media platforms to ensure the safety and well-being of citizens facing these critical situations.✅ . . #MetaNewsBan #CanadianGovernment #WildfireInformation #Yellowknife #EmergencyUpdates #SocialMediaSafety #NewsSharing #mnm #malayalisnearmeapp #canadaupdate #canadanews

👉In a major development, the Canadian government has announced the finalization of agreements with Visa and Mastercard to fulfill their Budget 2023 commitment of reducing credit card transaction fees for small businesses. These agreements will empower over 90% of credit card-accepting businesses in Canada, enabling them to qualify for reduced rates and experience interchange fee reductions of up to 27%. It is estimated that these reductions will collectively save eligible Canadian small businesses approximately $1 billion over a span of five years. Additionally, the government expects other credit card companies to follow suit and ensure that payment processors pass on these savings to small businesses. The new rates are set to take effect in fall 2024 after necessary system updates.✅ . . #SmallBusinessSupport #ReducedTransactionFees #CanadianGovernment #Visa #Mastercard #Budget2023 #SavingsForBusinesse #mnm #malayalisnearmeapp #canadaupdate #canadanews
