Hi, I've been looking everywhere for this answer, but can't find it.
We moved to Canada permanently on February this year (did a soft landing in 2019), and our daughter will start daycare in April.

I understand we do not have to file a tax return because we were not living in Canada during 2021. Can we still get child care benefit (in BC) and other benefits without a tax return? How can we do this?

If not, can we voluntarily file a tax return for our world income from last year?

Thank you!

For CCB you have to prove your family worldwide income for the past 1-2 years to qualify.
