10 Canadian Benefits Available Now | How to Check If You're Eligible for Every Program

The Canadian Government has made changes to programs, and created entirely new benefits to support its citizens this year.

However, it can be difficult to keep track of all the different benefits available at any given time.

Let's talk about a new tool that can help you make sure you're not missing out on any help that may be available to you!

Canada Emergency Response Benefit (CERB)
Canada Recovery Benefit (CRB)

Employment Insurance (EI)
Employment Insurance (EI) Work-Sharing
Delay mortgage payments

They still haven't done anything for us ODSP other than during the first wave we were supposed to get 3 payments of $100 but we only got a one time payment of $50-$100. In Ontario besides the homeless we are the ones being hit the hardest due to grocery prices sky rocketing and everyone hoarding all the cheaper food we are being forced to go hungry. At least in my case I only get enough money to buy groceries for 2 weeks and that's only eating once per day when before covid I could afford to buy groceries for the month and eat 3 times per day.

Hi Russell, just a question, I applied for CERB (first lockdown) through EI.
This time I applied for CRB through Revenue Canada. Was told to do this. Is that ok?

Hi Russell, I finally found you 😊 I was wondering about the announcement the prime minister made maybe a month ago that the government added an extra 12 was the COVID benefits example I take care of my granddaughter due to her original sitter was unable to watch her because of COVID I basically take care of her everyday since my son is now getting more hours at the restaurant where he is head cook, his hours were shorten due to the closing of his restaurant and only doing take out. His hours were cut in half & only now is he getting a few more hours. I think people are scared to eat in right now . Well Russell thank you for all the help you give us & look forward to hearing from you...Thank you Terri 🙏😊

[dandobson]

Thankfully Russel you get the knowledge a lot off us don’t. Is there any grants or small business loans for new businesses.
