The Ontario government's 5-in-1 Newborn Bundle lets you do 5 important things online at one time:
• register your child's birth
• apply for a birth certificate for your child, for a fee
• get a social insurance number (SIN) for your child
• sign up for the Canada Child Benefit, which also signs you up for Ontario's child benefits
• choose to get more information about Registered Education Savings Plans (RESPs)
It takes about 25 minutes to fill out the online form. It is sent directly to the Office of the Registrar General.
To register your child's birth, you need information about your child and each person who will be listed as a parent on the birth registration.
You need to give information about your child, including:
• the child's date of birth
• the child's first, middle, and last name
• the child's weight at birth
• the birth parent's maiden ·name
• the number of weeks the birth parent was pregnant
• the name of the doctor, registered midwife, or other person who helped deliver the child
• the name of the hospital or place where the child was born
For more information, feel free to call the Sagamok Anishnawbek membership office at 705-865-2421.
