1- Possibly, If you qualify, you must have worked the minimum amount of insurable hours in your economic zone. HOWEVER, you’re on a work permit , more than likely not
2-No, CERB is not a income supplement, it’s a income replacement due to Covid . Must have lost ones job due to CERB

-Getting a ITA isn’t relevant. You’re still individuals on work permits which will cause complications in applying for types of benefits

I was about to join work after my child completed 1 year on 13th march I was on a maternity break. I have emails and job interview calls saved. Now the day cares are closed and my job opportunities no longer available due to covid 19. I'm home taking care of my child which is a fulltime job. I have no income now. Will I be eligible for cerb benefits?

As you didn't stop working due to COVID-19, you don't qualify for CERB.

No - only if you've stopped working entirely due to COVID-19.

If you haven't been working for 3 months, then no, you don't qualify.

So had to stop job due to covid 19 and looking children at home both are less age living a their own at house.

Self-employed people don’t qualify for EI. You didn’t pay into EI.

Are you still cooking for these families or doing any paid work? Did the families ask you not to cook anymore?

I AM ASKING FOR creb as not EI. as CREB SELF EMPLOYED ARE ELIGIBLE STATES ON THEIR WEB AND BY TRUDEAU. AND NOT COOKING ANYMORE BECAUSE THEY WONT WANT ANYONE TO COME HOME DUE TO COVID AND ALSO I AM LOOKING FOR KIDS WHOSE SCHOOLS NATIONWIDE HAS BEEN STOPPED DUE TO COVID.

CREB STATES SELF EMPLOYED CAN APPLY AND ALSO PEOPLE WHO HAVE STOPPED WORKING DUE TO SCHOOL CLOSURES .

Real estate agents are classified as self employed and they DO qualify for CERB. in a nutshell, as long as your income in the past 12 mths was more than $5000 ,and your current job was terminated or you are not getting paid due to covid 19, you are eligible to apply for cerb. Afterall, it was launched to help ppl who lost their jobs because of covid 19. just my 2 cents' worth.

 

[jayaa]

NO NOT COOKING MORE AS THERE RELATIVES ASK TO NOT TO COME HOME DUE TO ELDERY PEOPLE AND ALSO MY CHILDREN ARE NOW HOME AS SCHOOLS ARE STOPPED AND THEY CANT BE LEFT ALONE AS UNDER AGE TWO OF THEM.ALSO I WAS SENDING FOOD TO PARTIES AND NO ONE WANTS THEM AS WELL. SO NO MORE
