Canada Child Benefit Eligibility 

Part 4 – Information about the child(ren)

Fill out this part to provide information about the child(ren).

Do not provide information about a child for whom you have already applied, unless the child left your care and has now returned.
When do you need to provide proof of birth?

You need to attach proof of birth for the child, on which the child’s last name, given name, and date of birth appear, if we have not previously paid benefits to anyone for this child, and one of the following applies:

• the child was born outside Canada; or
• the child was born in Canada and is one year of age or older.

Attach clear photocopies of both sides of all pages of one of the following documents for proof of birth:

• birth certificate or birth registration;
• hospital record of birth or record of the physician, nurse, or midwife who attended the birth;
• passport;
• Record of Landing or Confirmation of Permanent Residence issued by Citizenship and Immigration Canada;
• citizenship certificate; or
• Notice of Decision or a Temporary Resident's Permit issued under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act.
