I phoned them a couple months ago to ask about applying for it, and they told me after they receive the application it takes at least 8 weeks to process. I sent mine in on February 4th and still haven't received anything. I don't have the phone number anymore, but if you Google it (using the Canada filter) you will probably find it.





EDIT: I just looked it up, and the website states it takes 80 calendar days before a notice is sent out stating how much you will receive, and when to expect the 1st payment.
Reply:With my first born he was born Oct.3rd and i sent it in a week later and got his Oct 20th, with my daughter she was born april 21st and i got hers the next month. Go to google and type in cctb ....theres a num you can call and ask. You will probably get it April 18th since the 20th lands on a monday this month.
Reply:I applied online and my application was processed within a week. You are entitled to CTB a month after your child was born. Lets say your baby was born April 1st your first CTB will be paid on May 20th.





Edit ~ My daughter was born on March 18th this year and I will recieve her CTB on April 20th. You can log into "My Account" on the CRA website or call 1-800-387-1193.
