How to apply?
Complete and submit your application as soon as possible after
the child is born or begins to live with you, or when you become
a resident of Canada for income tax purposes.
Complete this form and send it, along with any other required
documents, to one of our tax centres listed on page 2 of this
information sheet.
Check "Married" if you have a spouse, or "Living common-law"
if you have a common-law partner. If you have been separated for

Part 1 – Information about the applicant
For Canada Child Tax Benefit (CCTB) purposes, it is presumed
that when both a male and a female parent live in the
same home as the child, the female parent is considered to be
primarily responsible (see the definition on page 2 of this
information sheet) for the child(ren) and should apply. However,
if the male parent is primarily responsible, he can apply if he
attaches a signed note from the female parent to his application,
which states that the male parent is primarily responsible for the
child(ren).
The person who is primarily responsible for the care and
upbringing of the child(ren) should complete Part 1.
