To get the Canada Child Benefit, you must meet all of the following conditions:
-You must live with the child, and the child must be under 18 years of age.
-You must be the person primarily responsible for the care and upbringing of the child.
Note:
If a child does not live with you all the time, see Do you share custody of a child?.
You must be a resident of Canada for tax purposes. We consider you to be a resident of Canada when you establish sufficient residential ties in Canada. For more information, see Income Tax Folio S5-F1-C1, Determining an Individual's Residence Status.
You or your spouse or common-law partner must be:
-a Canadian citizen;
-a permanent resident (as defined in the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act);
-a protected person (as defined in the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act); or
-a temporary resident (as defined in the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act) who has lived in Canada throughout the previous 18 months, and who has a valid permit in the 19th month other than one that states "does not confer status" or "does not confer temporary resident status." If this is your situation, do not apply before the 19th month.
