We study the critical branching random walk on \(\mathbb {Z}^d\) started from a distant point x and conditioned to hit some compact set K in \(\mathbb {Z}^d\) . We are interested in the occupation time in K and present its asymptotic behaviors in different dimensions. It is shown in this work that the occupation time is of order \(\Vert x\Vert ^{4-d}\) in dimensions \(d\le 3\) , of order \(\log \Vert x\Vert \) in dimension \(d=4\) , and of order 1 in dimensions \(d\ge 5\) . The corresponding weak convergences are also established. These results answer a question raised by Le Gall and Merle [37].
