If my spouse is a Canadian non-resident (lives in the US), am I eligible for the Canada childcare benefit? Do I need to include their US income?

Thank you for your question.  As we are not aware of your child's age, we can provide you with the following information on Canada child benefit (CCB). As per CRA: is a tax-free monthly payment for families with children under 18. Its three main components are the basic benefit, the national child benefit, and the child disability benefit, as well as related provincial and territorial programs.

How do you know if you are eligible for the CCTB?

• your child was younger than 18 years old;
• your child lived with you;
• you were the child's primary caregiver;
• you were a resident of Canada; and
• you (or your spouse or common-law partner) were a Canadian citizen, a permanent resident, a protected person, or a temporary resident who has lived in Canada for 18 months or more and who has a valid permit in the 19th month.

How much are you eligible for?
