I think it's odd that people are talking about the CCTB as if it's a standard benefit -- it's not, it's means tested for lower income families. UCCB is the only universal child benefit.

It depends upon your income and the province you live in. However there is fixed UCCB payment (which is CAD 100/month for every child under 6). CCTB depends upon your previous year world income( which is your income in your country before coming to Canada.)
And yes, they do not ask for documents to prove your worldly income.
In an attempt to keep things simple
, and provide the most accurate information, I answered the OP's specific question with links to the source information which explains all this quite clearly. Including eligibility, what is means tested and what is not.
That is generally how I operate
. If others wish to complicate and confuse the issues with opinion, partial information & omissions, up to them
