The payment, which includes a combination of the Ontario Energy and Property Tax Credit, the Northern Ontario Energy Credit and the Ontario Sales Tax Credit, is paid on this date.

- Alberta Child and Family Benefits (ACFB)
Payment deadline: November 27
This tax-free grant is paid to families with children under the age of 18 and is fully funded by the Government of Alberta.
