Through the hard work of Canadians, and a successful vaccination campaign, we have reached a turning point in the fight against COVID-19. Our government has now surpassed its target of creating a million new jobs. 

We are taking targeted action to ensure we create jobs and spur economic growth - a final boost in support to ensure we have a robust recovery for everyone. 

Beginning October 24, 2021, the following benefits are available for workers:

Canada Worker Lockdown Benefit 

Will provide $300 per week in income support for workers who are unable to work due to a local lockdown anytime between October 24, 2021 and May 7, 2022. For further details on the lockdown benefit, visit the link, here.

The Canada Recovery Sickness Benefit (CRSB)

Provides $500 per week for up to a maximum of two weeks for workers who:

• Are unable to work for at least 50 percent of the week because they contracted Covid-19 
• Are self-isolated for reasons related to Covid-19 
• have underlying conditions, are undergoing treatments or have contracted other sicknesses that, in the opinion of a medical practitioner, nurse practitioner, person in authority, government or public health authority, would make them more susceptible to COVID-19.

The CRSB will be available until May 7, 2022 for a maximum duration of benefits for 6 weeks.

The Canada Recovery Caregiving Benefit (CRCB) 

Provides $500 per week for up to 44 weeks per household for workers:
