About the Canada Child Tax Benefit?
About 3 weeks ago I had a baby boy. After a few days I got around to going online to register him and get his SIN card, birth certificate, and apply for the Canada child tax benefit. Somewhere on the many government webpages I read that the benefit was due to pay out on Jan. 20th (about 2 weeks after I applied).
The thing is, I'm set up to receive my tax returns and HST cheques by direct deposit, so I assumed this would also be directly deposited, but so far, nothing.
Do they just mail out the benefit, or is it just going to take more time to process my application before I see anything?

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.
