Le costume d'Halloween n'est pas encore acheté et les mitaines de l'an dernier ne font déjà plus? Les parents qui reçoivent l'allocation canadienne pour enfants (ACE) peuvent souffler un peu, puisque le dépôt d'octobre de l'Agence du revenu du Canada (ARC) tombe cette semaine.

Comme plusieurs prestations et crédits fédéraux destinés aux familles, cette aide arrive sans formulaire à remplir chaque année, et elle n'ajoute pas un sou à ta facture d'impôts. Elle n'est d'ailleurs pas la seule à atterrir ce mois-ci, comme le montre notre calendrier des versements de 2026.
Voici ce que tu pourrais voir apparaître dans ton compte, comment le montant est établi et quoi faire si rien n'arrive.
Qui a droit à l'ACE?
Tu y as droit si un enfant de moins de 18 ans habite avec toi et que c'est surtout toi qui en prends soin. Il faut aussi résider au Canada aux fins de l'impôt.
Toi ou ta ou ton partenaire devez par ailleurs avoir la citoyenneté canadienne, la résidence permanente ou le statut de personne protégée, être au pays comme résident temporaire depuis au moins 18 mois, ou être inscrit en vertu de la Loi sur les Indiens.
Et si l'enfant partage son temps entre deux maisons? Tout dépend de la répartition. S'il vit chez toi moins de 40 % du temps, l'ARC ne te considère pas admissible. Entre 40 % et 60 %, c'est la garde partagée, et chaque parent reçoit la moitié de ce qu'il toucherait avec la garde complète, selon son propre revenu.
Combien pourrais-tu recevoir cette semaine?
Les montants en vigueur de juillet 2026 à juin 2027 sont versés au complet aux familles dont le revenu familial net rajusté de 2025 est inférieur à 38 237 $.
- Jusqu'à 679,75 $ pour chaque enfant de moins de 6 ans (8 157 $ par année)
- Jusqu'à 573,58 $ pour chaque enfant de 6 à 17 ans (6 883 $ par année)
- Jusqu'à 290 $ de plus, avec la prestation pour enfants handicapés, pour un enfant admissible au crédit d'impôt pour personnes handicapées (3 480 $ par année)
Au-delà de ce seuil, l'ARC retranche une part de ton revenu excédentaire, qui grossit avec le nombre d'enfants.
Quand le dépôt arrive-t-il cette semaine?
L'ACE de ce mois-ci sera versée le mardi 20 octobre . Les deux prochains dépôts suivront le vendredi 20 novembre et le vendredi 11 décembre 2026.
Ton compte est toujours vide mardi soir? Laisse passer cinq jours ouvrables avant d'appeler l'ARC. Pour éviter de guetter ton appli bancaire chaque mois, tu peux aussi t'inscrire aux rappels de versement de l'ARC, qui t'avertissent environ une semaine avant chaque dépôt, et vérifier le montant prévu dans Mon dossier.
Tous les détails sont sur la page officielle de l'allocation canadienne pour enfants.

This Ontario village is a mini slice of Scotland with stone shops and historic charm
It's extra cozy during the autumn months. 🍁
Ontario is full of picturesque villages, but if you're looking for a place with a little European flair, you might want to take a road trip to this charming spot.
With quaint stone shops, historic architecture, and river views, it's a beautiful place to spend a day or longer.
The town is especially dreamy in autumn, when crisp leaves blanket the ground, and the little stores and cafes feel even cozier.
Perth is a charming Ontario town nestled along the Tay River, about an hour from Ottawa.
It was named after Perth, Scotland, and you can still see its Scottish roots reflected in the old-world buildings and quaint streets today.
According to the website, "you'll be amazed by the gorgeous heritage buildings lining the streets and the passageways that once served as horse lanes. With a Scottish influence, many of Perth's stone buildings were crafted by masons, making them a long-standing backdrop to the town's landscape. "
It's a magical spot to spend an afternoon sipping pumpkin spice lattes, wandering along leafy trails, and popping into local boutiques.
You can head to cozy cafes like Coutts Coffee Roastery & Cafe, North Folk Cafe, Jazzy's, and The Fieldhouse Bakery and Restaurant for warm drinks and cozy autumn vibes.
Since it just isn't fall without a sweet treat, you'll want to stop by Perth Pie Co., where you'll find everything from pumpkin pies to scones and gooey butter tarts.
There are lots of spots to grab a bite or enjoy a drink as well. The town's website highlights everything from "delicious pub eats to mouth-watering fine dining to thirst-quenching brews and spirits," so there's something for every taste.
Once you've satisfied your appetite, you can check out the Perth Museum, snap a photo with a replica of the town's famous giant "Mammoth Cheese," or wander around Code's Mill. This historic complex features five buildings and dates back to 1842, offering another glimpse into Perth's past.
Stewart Park is one of Perth's prettiest places to explore. Spanning five acres, the green space transforms into an autumn wonderland, with colourful foliage, winding walkways, and charming little bridges straight out of a storybook.
For more autumn views, you can follow the Tay River Towpath Trail for views of the river framed by brilliant red and golden leaves, or head to nearby Foley Mountain Conservation Area for sweeping vistas of the surrounding countryside.
Perth Tourism suggests stopping on the bridge in Stewart Park or following the Tow Path toward Last Duel Park, where you can take in the colourful scenery along the way.
October also brings Halloween fun to town, with seasonal activities like ghost walks and trick-or-treating.
With its historic stone buildings, cozy cafes, Scottish charm, and parks filled with fall foliage, Perth makes a picturesque destination for an autumn day trip or weekend getaway.

Daniel Allain new leader of New Brunswick's Progressive Conservatives

Daniel Allain is the new leader of New Brunswick’s Progressive Conservative party after taking the majority of ballots in a two-person race.
The upbeat former provincial cabinet minister took to the stage after he was declared the winner Saturday at a party leadership convention and vowed to create a “broad and welcoming” coalition.
“Whether you’re a man or a woman; English or French; rural or urban; North, South, East, West; a person of faith, a member of the LGBTQ community, a young person … you belong to this party,” he said.
Now, he said, the party needs to put aside its differences and offer the province an alternative to the country's only Liberal provincial government.
"We are at our best when we are socially progressive, fiscally conservative, believe in the rights of the individual, prioritize private growth, believe in bilingualism, care for society's most vulnerable, are fiscally responsible, and work to create strong families and communities."
He criticized Premier Susan Holt's government for multibillion-dollar budget deficits, deteriorating health care access, poor public education outcomes, high cost of living and public safety concerns.
And he announced plans for a party policy convention in early 2027 to work out a platform for the next general election scheduled for October 2028.
"We will show you a better plan for a stronger New Brunswick," he told hundreds of party members at a convention hall in downtown Fredericton.
"I need you with me because it's time to think big."
Allain, who does not have a seat in the legislature, replaces former premier Blaine Higgs who quit after the party lost its majority government to the Liberals in the 2024 election.
After serving four years as a city councillor for francophone-majority Dieppe, N.B., Allain was elected to the provincial legislature in 2020 and appointed local government minister by Higgs.
He was kicked from cabinet three years later when he voted with opposition parties to request a review of the Higgs government's changes to a school policy on LGBTQ students.
Allain told reporters the party will have a "robust discussion" on the topic as the party firms up its election platform ahead of the next election scheduled for October 2028.
But he added the party has chosen a leader that believes in a "socially progressive party and a fiscally conservative party."
Allain won the leadership with 58.5 per cent of the ballots over his competitor Don Monahan, a rookie legislator who was elected to the New Brunswick's legislative assembly two years ago.
Some party members said their new leader worked a tireless ground game for the last two years to get the support he did, after he decided not to run in the 2024 provincial election.
For his part, Monahan said he supported Allain's leadership and called for a unified party. He added it was up to Allain to chose a house leader that would serve as the leader of the official Opposition.
Allain said he didn't need a seat in the legislative assembly as he leads an effort to rebuild the party. He pointed out former PC premier Bernard Lord and current Premier Susan Holt did not have seats when they were elected leader.
Meanwhile, the Progressive Conservatives will turn their attention to the legislature with the fall session set to begin Tuesday.
