And to add, must have been working for a Canadian employer and was getting paid in CAD, not in any other currencies

If your employer does not renew your work permit (because of COVID lay offs) are you eligible for CERB post the expiration of the work permit (my work permit expires at the end of April but I worked in 2019 and made over 5k)?

Looks to me like you are. Definitely call CRA to find out if in doubt.
