[Indian dentist1]

Hi, i am work permit holder stuck in india right now. I took vacation from job in last week of jan. I was supposed to join job in march but had to cancel flight because of shutdown. I meet all the other requirement of Cerb, not sure if i can apply? Please help

It’s unlikely. You have to be residing in Canada to qualify.

You don’t meet two of the requirements
- Be in Canada
- Lost job due to Covid

I’m confused where you mention you’re not to sure if you can apply
You’re not eligible

No, you’re not in the same situation. You’re not a PR. You may have a COPR, but you haven’t landed yet, so on that important detail , you’re not eligible

You are eligible i call CRA yesterday they ask me its not your current status of residence
And yes you are stucked because of COVID-19 flights are not going. Thats why you are eligible and can apply.

Have you actually been fired from your job due to COVID ?

Being in india on vacation is not an issue if you meet the other requirements you are elligable, suggest you apply, let the government determine elligibility, they might ask you to pay it back eventually.

Same situation.

I'm stuck in my hometown due to the flight cancellation, but I still have to pay my mortgage, condo fee, home and car insurance etc. So am I counted as a "resident" of Canada?

I am on work permit. I lost my job due to Covid-19. Can I apply for CERB now ? But right now I am in India.

There really needs to be clarification about the word resident. Also there needs to be clarification of what would be considered job loss if you have been not working and abroad for months.
