Help your family get the full benefit

The Canada Child Benefit (CCB) is a tax-free monthly payment based on your family's net income and number of children. Because it's recalculated each year based on your tax returns, filing on time and correctly — for both parents — is essential to receiving the right amount.

Questions, answered

What is the Canada Child Benefit?

The CCB is a tax-free monthly payment to eligible families to help with the cost of raising children under 18. The amount depends on family net income and number of children.

How do I keep receiving the CCB?

The CRA recalculates the CCB every July based on the prior year's returns. Both parents must file on time each year, or payments can stop. We help you stay current.

Why did my CCB change?

CCB is income-tested, so changes in family net income, marital status, or the number of children in your care all affect the amount.

Can newcomers to Canada get the CCB?

Permanent residents and protected persons can generally apply for the CCB once they're residents for tax purposes. Temporary residents (such as study or work permit holders) usually qualify in their 19th month in Canada, provided they hold a valid permit. We help newcomer families apply at the right time.

Does tax planning affect my CCB?

It can. Because the benefit is based on net income, certain planning strategies may improve your entitlement. We can advise.
