Stuck in india, can i still apply for CERB?? as a work permit holder

[canuck78]

Did u apply ?

Have you been in India since January as well? Canadians don’t get months of paid vacation so what was your employment status while you were away?

So easy. If you are not sure, you just apply then get the money. Later if CRA do the auditing and decide that you are not eligible then you can pay them back. Just one drawback you may have record in your profile.

And what pray tell do they do if they can't pay it back ?

This isn’t quite clear. What kind of break did you take from your employer? Canadians usually get 2-3 weeks of vacation per year. We’re you on unpaid leave during this time? Did you get an ROE? Would really encourage you to explain your situation to CRA and ask for clarification. Do you have proof of flight cancellation in the 1st week of a March? Most flights from India were still running in the first week of a March So it is unusual for your flight to be canceled unless you were travelling through China.

What about your 2020 income? When did you last work in Canada?

As per new clarifications, if you are stuck outside Canada and can't get back to work, you're eligible for CERB. Please go to Canada.ca.

When did you go back to India? How long have you worked in Canada? When did you get you WP in Canada and when does it expire?
