If you’re receiving the Canada Child Benefit (CCB), there’s good news—you might be in line for additional financial support this week.

Many families could see hundreds of dollars more per child, depending on their eligibility and province of residence.

The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) issues this tax-free monthly benefit to assist with the increasing cost of raising children.

With inflation adjustments factored in for 2025, the benefit amounts are slightly higher this year.

What’s New for 2025 Canada Child Benefit Payments?

As of 2025, eligible families can receive:

Age of Child	Monthly Base CCB Amount
Under 6 years old	Up to $666
Ages 6 to 17	Up to $562

These are base payments, but many families qualify for provincial top-ups and additional programs that could significantly increase the amount received per month.
