She only qualifies for CCTB if she's been physically living in Canada. How long have the two of you been outside of Canada?

we left Canada in the same year she was born in 1999
we never went to Canada againg since

You need to be physically living in Canada to qualify for the benefit. So unfortunately there is no money available for your daughter.

If your daughter had left Canada more than 180 days a year, she would not qualify for child benefit. You can call cra to verify it.

They've been gone since 1999 and haven't visited Canada. So there's no money.
