Hi,

I am a Canadian citizen and I plan to send my 2 year old daughter in the Philippines with the care of my aunt as I am studying full time right now. Will she still be receiving her child tax benefit while outside Canada for 1 year?

Thanks

hi,
All of my family members and me are the citizen of Canada.
I have plan to visit my home country with kids for several months while my husband will stay in canada.
Am I eligible for child tax benefit while i am out of Canada with kids during that time period?

Thanks
