Totally agree with you as i contacted CIC and they said if you get laid off then you have 90 days to find a new job and submit new employer documents if not your PR application gonna be rejected so if you are temporary laid off best is take vacation and apply for CERB that will help

did you Contact CIC after this covid-19 scenario happen or before that? And did you mention Them lay off is due to covid-19 situation?
My employer laid me off due to covid 90 and i applied for cerb . I already submitted my PR file in August 2019. Will this effect my Pr and do i need to apply again with new employer ?
Please help
when did you contact cic? it because even if you go online on cic it says the same thing which is right but in this situation almost all the companies are laying off their employees and it is no body fault, it’s government order to close all non essential businesses so there is nothing we can do about it but we need to understand this here once everything get normal we have to go back to the work. I tried calling cic hundreds of time to ask about this before i get laid off but even they are also not working.
I applied under the student stream and have a open work permit.Will the 90 day period also apply to me if I lose my job?
90 day period applies to everyone unless you have decision made. Any stage prior to that will affect your PR because you will be out of status in 90 days.
This is what my lawyer www.veemanlaw.com said in his webinar on Friday.
Also use EI if you are eligible but DO NOT apply for government money. EI is not government grant. If you apply for it your application will be negatively affected.
How it will affect negatively everybody is applying bcoz governmnt told everybody to close non essential services and thatswhy we are laid off not bcoz of our employer’s fault And if somebody has open work permit not expiring soon how will they be out of status?
can u plzz explain thnks
Also government is converting EI applied files into CERB . Then how EI is not governmnt grant and why cerb is?
The takeaway is that if an employee is laid off during the COVID-19 epidemic, then for the purposes of ES legislation, they are not considered to be “terminated” at least for a while. Their employment is interrupted. There is no present statutory requirement for the employer to pay the employee during a temporary layoff although some employers opt to do so. In most provinces at present there is also no ES entitlement to paid sick leave, although some provinces have indicated an intention to introduce some form of paid leave entitlement (nice summary here from Faskens). An employee who is laid off during the COVID-19 epidemic may be entitled to use accrued vacation pay and can apply for unemployment insurance.
