The CRA administers the B.C. Child Opportunity Benefit program for the province.
If your child is registered for the Canada Child Benefit, they're automatically registered for the B.C. Child Opportunity Benefit.
The CRA uses the information from your Canada Child Benefit registration to determine your eligibility for the B.C. Child Opportunity Benefit.
If your child is not registered for the Canada Child Benefit, you’ll need to apply for the Canada Child Benefit.
If you’re eligible, the amount of the payments will be calculated automatically by the CRA based on information from the personal tax returns you (and your spouse or common-law partner) have filed.
