Please I had my baby in Canada while still less that 18 months in Canada. I want to know if she qualifies for retroactive payments now that I have passed the 18 months required eligibility time frame since she was born here in Canada

So you are on a work permit. You are eligible when you reach 18 months onwards. You aren’t eligible for CBB prior to the 18 months.

Qualifying for CCB is based on the parent’s status not the child’s. You are the one applying for CCB not your child which is why only qualifying at 18 months still stands. It is to also to disincentivize temporary residents from having children as soon as they get to Canada because most will not be in a financial position to care for the child, not qualify for maternity payments, etc.

Hello,

I am a bookkeeper and one of my clients moved to Canada in 2017 on a work permit. She received child tax benefit for 2022, 2023 & 2024, is there a way for her to receive payments for 2018, 2019 & 2020? Any advise would be appreciated. Thanks.

You don't say exactly when she moved to Canada. However earliest she would have qualified is in the 19 months after arriving in Canada.

She moved in Dec. 2017. How can I apply for a retroactive payment? Thanks.

Her children also moved with her in 2017? It should be part of her tax return back then...

Yes, both her children and her moved in 2017. Does that mean when she filed her tax return back then, she should have applied then? Is there no way now to apply for retroactive payments? Thanks.

I think the normal application is via CRA website (My Account). I am not sure how to do that for prior tax years. Maybe you can call CRA number to find out.

My kids were born outside Canada. They were born Canadians. They are now in Canada receiving CCB. I file taxes every year.
Is it possible to retroactive payments for the unpaid years?

Not if they weren’t living in Canada.
