KLIPP Posted March 22 Report Share Posted March 22 I entered Canada in April 2023 and earned about $10,000; I indicated I moved to Manitoba April 1, 2023. Ufile is giving me the Canada Workers Benefit amount of $1,518 but, when I look at who is eligible it says "Are a resident of Canada throughout the year". Did I miss something?
