Hi, Thank you for sharing that. I am in the same situation as you. for me i have been waiting for my PGWPLast time I talked to the service canada agent, she said that she doesnt see any reason why I cant get the CERB. as long as im paying my taxes and staying here in Canada. I told her about the implied status, she said that everything during this pandemic is new to them and trying to learn and improve the service also getting people the help they need. With regards to the implied status, she said just be ready for necessary documents that can prove that I already applied for the renewal of my work permit and/or permanent residence. If in the future they will ask that.
I think that the government will be lenient during this kinds of situations as no one wants to be in this situation. BUT again im just sharing what answers I got from service canada. It is all up to you if you because I am not an expert.
Good luck to all of us.
do you still get the cerb after you did the report online?
