Hi i need some information. I also apply for bowp and PR but got refused, because of this I lost my status last April 2022. I apply to restore my status last May and my status was restored last September 2022. My question is about child benefit. Will the 18 months will have to start again from the time i restore my status? I already recieving child benefit in my first work permit. This is my 2nd work permit. Im wondering if i will get child benefit again or i have to work 18 months again before i start recieving child benefit.

Did you get a new WP or PR? Restore your status doesn’t mean that you have restored your ability to work. When did you receive your new WP?

Honestly never encountered a question like this with such a long period where you were without a WP (April 2022-September 2023). Would suggest emailing if possible because the CRA phone line gives out incorrect information at times. Having a response in writing would allow you to have a record of CRA’s response. Your other option would be to apply and see it it gets approved. Hopefully someone else has the answer.
