Hello everyone,
I have a question regarding Canada Child Benefit (CCB) and the status verification process between CRA and IRCC.

I am a Permanent Resident. I am in Canada and I plan to apply for Canada Child Benefit in 2026. At that time, I will not yet have met the 730-day PR residency obligation.

I understand that CRA may verify immigration status with IRCC when processing CCB applications. My concern is the following:
  • When CRA contacts IRCC to confirm PR status, does IRCC also review PR residency obligation compliance (730 days) during this verification
In other words, can a CCB application trigger an IRCC review of PR residency days?

I would appreciate hearing from anyone with first-hand experience or reliable sources on this topic.

Thank you in advance.
