would he be able to get any CCB backpay? but I am the primary caregiver.

Yes, if he files his taxes. If he lists the children as his dependants then he gets the money. You don't have status in Canada so cannot file for taxes nor have full custody.

This is why it is important to have an arrangement in place regarding who should end up with the funds from any retroactive CCB backpay.
