Dear Seniors,

please give ur advise . I heard that if we apply for child support benefit we can get this as soon as we land in canada.Is it possible to apply from home country before landing. and if yes what is the process?

Don't worry much on that. As soon as your SIN card arrives by post [sometimes after the PR card too], u'll receive another package concerning the CTB. All actions required would be mentioned in that. If it is delayed, u'll get an arrears as well.

But i heard we can get 300$ for each child if we apply before landing . and for getting PR card it takes 1 month. one of my relative suggest me for doing that from home town. but i'm confuse how can i apply before?

U can only do it after landing, as I understand.

It's necessary for the family unit to reside in Canada to avail the CTB. The kids must go to school here, U have a bank a/c & u guys have a residential address.

Hi

Here are the rules.

4. Can I get the Canada Child Tax Benefit?
To be eligible, you must meet all the following conditions:

* you must live with the child, and the child must be under the age of 18;
* you must be the person who is primarily responsible for the care and upbringing of the child;
o This means you are responsible for such things as supervising the child's daily activities and needs, making sure the child's medical needs are met, and arranging for child care when necessary. If there is a female parent who lives with the child, we usually consider her to be this person. However, it could be the father, a grandparent, or a guardian.
* you must be a resident of Canada; and
* you or your spouse or common-law partner must be a Canadian citizen, a permanent resident, a protected person, or a temporary resident who has lived in Canada for the previous 18 months, and who has a valid permit in the 19th month.

5. When do I apply for the Canada Child Tax Benefit?
Generally, you should apply for the CCTB as soon as possible after:

* your child is born;
* a child starts to live with you; or
* you become a resident of Canada.
