Your child needs to be registered and your taxes need to be filed to the end of the previous year in order for them to calculate the benefit you qualify for. Tax year 2023 is used to calculate the amount from July 2024-June 2025. You can also set up the direct deposits by logging in to your CRA account and adding the info there. Otherwise you'll receive a cheque in the mail monthly.
Thanks a lot everyone for the valuable information.❤️
Hey. If you want direct deposit you'll have to set that up with your bank and the only documents you'll need is your child's information and yourself. IF you type in Google 5 step child benefit it'll direct you to the application for you to apply. Hope this helps!
