Please I had my baby in Canada while still less that 18 months in Canada. I want to know if she qualifies for retroactive payments now that I have passed the 18 months required eligibility time frame since she was born here in Canada

So you are on a work permit. You are eligible when you reach 18 months onwards. You aren’t eligible for CBB prior to the 18 months.

Qualifying for CCB is based on the parent’s status not the child’s. You are the one applying for CCB not your child which is why only qualifying at 18 months still stands. It is to also to disincentivize temporary residents from having children as soon as they get to Canada because most will not be in a financial position to care for the child, not qualify for maternity payments, etc.
