Over the past nine months, we’ve created a number of benefits to get you, your family, and your business the help you need - and while the year may be coming to an end, these supports are not. For a summary of what’s available, check out the thread below. ⤵️
If you’re directly affected by COVID-19 but you’re self-employed or don’t qualify for Employment Insurance, there’s the Canada Recovery Benefit. It’ll provide you with $500 each week for up to 26 weeks. To learn more and apply today, click here: bit.ly/2JfdecW
If you can’t work because you’re sick or need to self-isolate due to COVID-19, there’s the Canada Recovery Sickness Benefit. If you can’t work because you’re taking care of a loved one, there’s the Canada Recovery Caregiving Benefit. More details here: bit.ly/39tVx3Q
If you’re a small business owner who’s been affected by COVID-19, there’s the Canada Emergency Rent Subsidy. It could cover up to 65% of your rent. If your community is in lockdown, the new Lockdown Support could boost your rent subsidy up to 90%. Apply: bit.ly/3fLw4Eu
If you need some help keeping your employees on the payroll, there’s the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy. It’s available until June 2021. If you’re looking for interest-free loans, there’s the Canada Emergency Business Account. Find out more here: bit.ly/3lg4Zub

Au cours des neuf derniers mois, on a créé une série de prestations pour que vous, votre famille et votre entreprise ayez l’aide dont vous avez besoin. L’année tire à sa fin, mais pas ces mesures d’aide. Pour avoir un résumé de ce qui vous est offert, lisez le fil ci-dessous. ⤵️
La Prestation canadienne de relance économique s’adresse aux travailleurs autonomes non admissibles à l’assurance-emploi qui sont directement touchés par la COVID 19. Ils recevront 500$/sem. durant 26 semaines au maximum. Pour info et pour la demander : bit.ly/33nwNqo
Pour ceux qui ont la COVID-19 et qui sont incapables de travailler, il y a la Prestation de maladie pour la relance économique. Ceux qui s’absentent pour s’occuper d’un proche ont la Prestation de la relance économique pour proches aidants : bit.ly/39qkvS2

We’re focused on getting you the support you need and keeping you safe. That’s why we’ve been working with the provinces and territories, and that’s why we’re investing more than $19 billion through our Safe Restart Agreement. Here’s what this investment will do: ⤵️
It will help increase testing and contact tracing. It will protect your loved ones who are most vulnerable. And it will support the capacity of our health care systems, and the procurement of personal protective equipment, so you can stay safe as we restart our economy.
It will make sure your community - and all communities who have been at the forefront of this pandemic - can keep running and help our economy come back strong. And it will help them deliver the services that you rely on, like public transit.
Whether you’re currently studying or you’ve recently graduated, we know the COVID-19 has had an impact on your internships, placements, and job searches. So here’s what we’re doing to make sure you can gain the experience you need and contribute to your community: ⤵️
We’re launching the Canada Student Service Grant. If you’re a student or recent graduate and you volunteer to serve in your community’s COVID-19 response, you could get a one-time payment of between $1,000 and $5,000 with this grant - depending on the number of hours you serve.
We’re supporting 20,000 more job placements in high-demand sectors through the Student Work Placement Program, creating 10,000 new job placements for young people through Canada Summer Jobs, and creating 5,000 new internships for post-secondary students through @MitacsCanada.
Whether you’re a student living away from home and worried about covering your expenses, or you’re a recent graduate looking for work, we know the COVID-19 pandemic has affected you too. So here’s what we’re doing to support you today, this summer, and next year. ⤵️
We’re launching the Canada Emergency Student Benefit. With this benefit, you’ll get $1,250 a month from May to August. And if you’re taking care of someone or if you have a disability, that amount will go up to $1,750 each month.
We’re also launching the new Canada Student Service Grant. If you’re volunteering this summer and you’re helping in the fight against COVID-19, this grant will provide you up to $5,000 for your education in the fall. Your energy and your skills can do a lot of good right now.
