Canada Child Benefit for Temp Resident - wrong calculations

My Client family immigrated to Canada during the year 2024. The immigration date is entered correctly in Profile. 

Profile is wrongly calculating Child Benefits without considering the eligibility criteria by CRA.

They have not finished 18 months in Canada, which can be calculated from the date of Immigration already entered in Profile. The Child Benefit should not be calculated for this kind of situation,

 

It should be corrected immediately by PROFILE so as not to provide misleading information and expectations.

 

As per Eligibility criteria on CRA website,

To get the CCB, you must meet all of the following conditions:

You must live with the child, and the child must be under 18 years of age.

You must be a resident of Canada for tax purposes.

One of the condition is, You or your spouse or common-law partner must be any of the following:
A temporary resident (as defined in the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act) who has lived in Canada throughout the previous 18 months, and who has a valid permit in the 19th month.

 

Thanks.
