If you don't live with your child, you aren't eligible for any benefits. It's the first point in eligibility requirements. http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/bnfts/ccb/bfrppl-eng.html
To be eligible for the Canada child benefit (CCB), you must meet all of the following conditions:
You must live with the child, and the child must be under 18 years of age.
You must be primarily responsible for the care and upbringing of the child.
You must be a resident of Canada for tax purposes.
If your child came for a temporary visit, it would not change any of these facts. You need to wait until you are permanently living with your child.
