Father in Limbo Struggles for Kids

Abdiweli Mohamed, a Somali immigrant allowed to stay in Canada indefinitely, lost over a thousand dollars a month in Canada Child Benefit after his wife’s separation — even though he’s the primary caregiver.

Both federal ministries are reviewing the ruling as Mohamed appeals, hoping for a system that recognizes his dedication — and his kids’ needs.
