Hello all,

I am a Canadian Citizen separated from my ex-wife who is currently living in Ontario,Canada. I am not living in Canada and thereby not filing taxes to CCRA, Canada. My ex-wife is still resident in Canada and filing her taxes with CCRA Canada. Our Son is living outside Canada.

Can my ex-wife apply for CCTB though our son is not living in Canada? Unfortunately she is not working and on Canada Social benefits.


Please suggest.

Thanks

JG

The short answer is no. The child would have to be living with your wife in order to qualify for CCTB. See: http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/bnfts/cctb/fq_qlfyng-eng.html#q4
