Good day,
I am trying to determine how and who has to apply for the CCB. I have been on a work permit since May 2016 and tax resident for the majority of that time. My family moved here in Dec 2018 putting my eligibility date in July 2020. I did not file at that time and went on implied status in Oct 2020 and did not receive a new work permit until May 2022. My wife has been on a visitor record for her duration here and does not have a SIN.
My question is, can she apply for the CCB since she is a visitor w/o SIN or do I need to apply?

You need to apply (not her).

Could you elaborate on your implied status? What permit did you have before Oct 2020? What permit do you have now? 1.5 years is a long time on implied status.
