Hi all
I am a new immigrant landed in Canada in September 2016 with my spouse and kid. After landing I applied for child tax benefits and I started receiving the payments in November. Now due to some urgency, we have to go back to our home country in Feb 2017 to wind up all the things over there and then come back to Canada in March 2018. I would like to ask that when I inform CRA about this visit and they stop my child benefits. Then after we return to Canada next year, can we reapply for these benefits again and how much time it will take to restart. What things need to be kept in mind before leaving. Further I want to ask can we fill our 1st tax return when we will be outside Canada. Please guide us. Thanks
