Child tax benefit

I am in Canada since Sep 2016 on a work permit and have been paying taxes. I have a kid who lives with me. I understand the eligibility for Child tax benefit for temporary residents is, who have lived in Canada for the past 18 months and have a valid permit for 19th month.

My question, since I meet the eligibility requirements, do I get child tax benefit starting 19th month or will I get any lump sum with arrears for the past 18 months as well?

Thanks
