Navigating financial support as a parent in Canada doesn’t have to be overwhelming. If you’re raising children under 18, the Canada Child Benefit (CCB) offers crucial monthly financial assistance to help ease the costs. Whether you're a new parent, recently moved to Canada, or haven’t applied yet, using Form RC66 is your key to unlocking not just the CCB but several other benefits.
Form RC66 is more than just an application for the CCB—it also helps you register for the GST/HST credit, the Climate Action Incentive Payment, and additional provincial/territorial child benefits. If your family or custody situation has changed or if you're new to the country, completing this form ensures you don’t miss out on valuable support.
You can apply online through your CRA My Account for speed and convenience, or fill out a paper application. And if you're a newcomer to Canada, make sure to include Form RC66SCH as well.
Depending on your family income, you could receive up to $7,787 annually for each child under 6, and up to $6,570 for children aged 6 to 17. These payments are updated each July based on your previous year’s tax return—so always file, even if you have no income.
At JHG Corporate and Tax Services Inc., we understand the importance of getting your application right the first time. Let us help you maximize your benefits and ensure nothing gets left behind.
