OSTC for new immigrant?

Hi, I become new immigrant in June 2017 and have been residing in Ontario since then. 

For GST/HST benefits I have filled RC151 form and declared my home country income in years 2015, 2016 and 2017. 

I am getting GST amount based on my 2016 income in my home country, but no amount for ontario sales tax credit (OSTC). 

Am i eligible for OSTC as a new immigrant?

You will need to file your 2017 income tax return and apply for the Trillium Benefit which begins payment in July 2018.
