Retroactive CCB Requests Income Tax Act s. 122.62(2)
Budget 2016 changes allow a taxpayer to request retroactive payments of the CCB, CCTB or UCCB, with a 10 year time limit, as in the Taxpayer Relief Provisions, but in a slightly different manner. A retroactive payment request can be made in respect of a month on or before the day that is 10 years after the beginning of that month, effective for requests made after June 2016.
To apply for retroactive benefits, apply for the CCB through My Account or by filing an RC66 form (link below).
My child was born in Canada, and I have been on a work visa. At the end of 2018, my son returned to my home country. I never leave since 2018. In 2023, I became a Canadian PR. My son and wife are coming to Canada next month for a landing. Can the unclaimed CCB for all these years be retroactively issued to me? I remember CRA can hold my CCB for up to a year, but from reading this article, it seems like I can request all the CCB for the past 10 years.
