Child Sponsorship and Child Benefit

[laxman2002]

Hello,
Hope you all doing very well.
I am a Citizen lived 15 years in US for work. Two kids born in US. Now I moved to Toronto in the month of November 2017. Immediately I have applied for the kids Family Class immigration. It is in the process, Medical done.
Currently we do not get the Canada Child Benefit as the kids are not yet immigrated. I understand that we will start getting it as soon as the kids get the Family class PR. The question is, will the Government only pay the Child Benefit amount from the day the kids get the PR approval or will they pay from the day the Kids landed (Nov 2017) in Canada?
I would really appreciate the expert replies.
Thanks a lot.
Laxman

If you're a Canadian citizen, are you sure your kids aren't also Canadian automatically through you? How did you get your citizenship?

Naturalized Citizen. One kid born before I became Canadian citizen and the younger kid born after I became Canadian Citizen. Elder kid, I applied for the Family Class PR Sponsorship which is in the stage of medical done. Younger kid, I applied for the Proof of Citizenship which is in process.
