On March 3, 2021, the Government announced proposed details for upcoming CERS claim periods from March 14 to June 5, 2021.
On February 24, 2021, the Government announced a proposed change to make lockdown support available to an eligible property owner whose tenant is not at arm’s length but uses the qualifying property that is subject to a lockdown. The property owner must meet all other applicable conditions to qualify for the lockdown support.
If this change applies to your situation, you may amend an application you previously submitted.
Canadian businesses, non-profit organizations, or charities who have seen a drop in revenue during the COVID-19 pandemic may be eligible for a subsidy to cover part of their commercial rent or property expenses, starting on September 27, 2020, until June 2021.
This subsidy will provide payments directly to qualifying renters and property owners, without requiring the participation of landlords.
If you are eligible for the base subsidy, you may also be eligible for lockdown support if your business location is significantly affected by a public health order for a week or more.
