Hello all,
Hope you all are doing well in this lockdown.

PM Trudeau announced the Canada Emergency Student Benefit today and even though the criterias haven't been published, I was wondering if claiming such financial assistances as an international student despite meeting requirements, might make me ineligible for Study-permit extension, PGWP or PR?
I also met the requirements for CERB, but didn't apply as I am not sure if that would have made be ineligible for future applications.
Thank You.

Besides, it is a big risk for international students to be working considering the current health situation but ...

Well, I live in Montréal where it's pretty hard to get a job with mediocre French. So, I don't have any hopes for getting a job this summer. Gotta work more on my French and maybe I can finally secure a part-time job.

You’re a student?
Why would your PR be at risk ? They are two totally different things

Because I will continue my studies and renew my PR only in 2021 July. I have not met residency obligation and my PR expires in Sep 20 so worried if this cesb will trigger any notification for not meeting the RO
