I am not sure how the tax system works for Canadians living abroad. I would start by asking if you are paying taxes in Canada, if you are then it makes sense to be eligible for child tax benefit. If you are not filing for taxes in Canada then it dosent make sense getting child tax benefit.

Does your children got their social insurance number? If so, you can go for it.
