Are refugee claimants eligible for Canada Child Benefit?

So it means even If the child is citizen at birth than this would not change anything regarding his/her benefits until the parents become "protected person".

and once one parent becomes eligible, they usually retro pay

Believe they will only get retroactive payments starting on the date the parent gets positive NOD and becomes a protected person. CCB is based on the parent’s immigration status not the child’s.

No, retropay for canadian born child since eligibility was withhold by one parent..

but retroactive payment only until when one parent received their protected person approval not to when the child was born.

Thats correct, until when one parent becomes eligible..
