You may also be able to claim the CCC if one or more of the following individuals depend on you for support because of a physical or mental impairment:
your (or your spouse’s or common-law partner’s) child or grandchild
For an eligible dependant under 18 years of age at the end of the year (who is a person you are eligible to make a claim for on line 30400), you may be entitled to claim an amount of $2,499 in the calculation of line 30400 or on line 30500 for your child.
