About the Canada Child Tax Benefit?

The Canada Child Tax Benefit takes about 2 mths to process, it could be quicker depending on your area. It is based off your previous years income tax return so I hope you filed it. If you have already signed up for direct deposit for income tax/GST, it will be deposited into your account provided that you checked the appropriate box on the form on or near the 20th of every month (December being the exception since it arrives early). I have 4 kids and it took approx 2 months to be processed for each of them. There is good news though, the government will back pay you however long it takes to process the application.
