Hello everyone
I am on open work permit in canada and applied for permanent residency through paper based nomination (NWT) i also got my file number and my biometrics are done too so i went on vacation in india for a month i was supposed to be back on april 7 so I don’t know how long will it take bcz i got rent, auto loan & insurance to pay so am I eligible for cerb?
one of my friend is also in india he applied for it and he got it !!
Should i also apply for it?

There is no such penalty for CERB claims. There is a 225% penalty for fraudulent wage subsidy claims.

Everyone who applies gets it and CRA will ask for repayment if you didn’t qualify.
