I landed in Canada March 2019 and started my job in Dec 2019. I have stopped working in April 2020, because of not enough work (due to Covid 19) and I have no other source of income now. I dont have payroll amount of $5000 yet to apply for Cerb, neither I have enough hours worked to qualify for EI. What should I do? Can you help in this regard?

Welfare would be your only option
I see that some stores Walmart, Loblaws are looking for help , you might want to look into those areas. Welfare doesn’t pay a lot

No. You did not lose your job to covid 19. On top of that you are missing a huge part of your story. You have been out of the country on parental leave for the past 6+ months it sounds like. What happened to the job you were supposed to rejoin after your parental leave a few weeks ago? It is probably too late now but seeing that there was a pandemic you should have changed your plans to make sure you could return. Canada did warn to return while you could still could I early March.

What kind of permit do you have? When does your permit expire? Do you meet all the conditions? Did you make over 5K while you were in Canada?

Yes i meet all other requirements i m canadian citizen and made 5k+ in 2019. I was not sure bcoz of my change in employment status.

So yes you qualify for CERB. You must not work and claim CERB unless they change the rules.

You can’t apply for both. Did you apply for CERB as well?
