Canada’s COVID-19 aid package and you
Do you qualify? How much will you get? For how long? What if you still have a tiny bit of income, but it's not enough to live on? What if you're already on EI? What if you haven't been fired, but can't work? What if the rent's due before the money arrives?
The federal government announced an unprecedented aid package for Canadians who have lost their incomes in the pandemic.
