you are not eligible for child tax benefits if you don't live in Canada.

you are not eligible for child tax benefits if you don't live in Canada.

things a bit confusing, I read that we can still get child tax benefit outside of Canada as is possible i can be deemed as "factual resident of Canada" while working oversea paying taxes and receiving benefits same as I had never left Canada from a tax/benefit perspective.

Also for the Universal child care benefit:
it said "you will continue to receive it during your absence from Canada", does this apply to me? and Is UCCB same as CTB?

Those clauses only apply if: (i) you are only abroad temporarily (and still maintain ties to Canada); and (ii) you are paying Canadian tax on your foreign income. Given that you haven't filed any tax returns in Canada while outside, and it doesn't seem like your posting is temporary (given that its already been two years), then you would not be eligible for either the CCTB or the UCCB.
