A reminder for families: the Canada Child Benefit lands Tuesday, October 20 – the tenth of twelve CCB payments this year.

Remaining 2026 payment dates after Tuesday: November 20 and December 11 (the year’s final payment arrives early, ahead of the holidays). Deposits made on a weekend or holiday are typically issued the last business day before.

The CCB is a tax-free monthly payment for eligible families with children under 18, based on adjusted family net income from the previous year’s tax return – one more reason to file on time. Full schedule: Canada Child Benefit payment dates. Also ahead: CPP and OAS on October 28.
