Anyone stuck outside canada due to covid is eligible for cerb, who have $5000 gross income in 2019 or before march 15
That isn’t true. If people have been outside Canada for months they likely don’t qualify.
If a person went on vacation in January and can’t get home and had been on unpaid leave that is very different than someone who went in a March and took two weeks paid vacation and got stuck there.
Hey I applied for PR after getting B.C. PNP. I applied for CERB because I was sick and I had the symptoms of corona before 1 month so that is why I didn’t work for 14 consecutive days. At that time, the criteria was if you don’t work 14 days because of corona in a month then you are eligible. So I applied for it. After 14 days, I started working normally 40 hours a week. Will that affect my PR application?
Please answer my question. I am very worried.
thank you very much.
Please answer my question. I am very worried.
thank you very much.
So you received CERB funds while you were already working 40 hrs per week? Did you earn more than 1K that month? Assume that you only received 1 payment? Did your workplace have a shorter disability policy that could have been accessed for the 2 weeks?
yes when I was sick for 14 days. I didn’t work so my pay cheque’s was below $1000.but after that I started working normally and then my paycheque was more than $1000 for next 15 days. But I would like to mention that when I applied for CERB the condition was different than now it is. Before 2 months , the condition was you haven’t worked for 14 consecutive days a month. So that is why I applied for that. And I talked to my employer and he said yes I can apply for it as I didn’t work for 14 days. So can you please say will it affect my PR application??? My work is normal after that 2 weeks in which I was sick. I am doing regular 40 hours a week. But will it affect my PR application because I applied for that CERB?? Please answer it.
thank you very much.
thank you very much.
Won’t affect your PR. Only thing that can happen is that you can be asked to prove that you qualified for CERB, assume you likely contacted public health to try and get tested/did get tested, etc.
Thank you very much for your reply. I really appreciate the time you have given for replying. I was so much worried. I was worrying that if I applied for CERB then IRCC might think that I was laid off so it could affect my PR. So that is why I was so worried. Yes I contacted public health agency and they told me at that time to self isolate myself .
Only thing most people should be worried about is paying back CERB. Given the numbers there was an incredible amount of fraud which everyone predicted. Hopefully the money couldn’t be sent to duplicate bank accounts. If it could assume there was lots of money sent to Nigeria, India and Eastern Europe/Russia/Caucasus.
