Summary Translation: The majority of international students did not receive the federal aid package for students affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Canadian government notes on its website that CERB is available for those residing in Canada who are at least 15 years old, have stopped working for COVID-19-related reasons, have earned at least CAD $5,000 in 2019 or in the 12 months prior to the date of their application, and who have not quit their job voluntarily. However, international students do not earn enough from their part-time jobs to make them eligible for the scheme. Only 20% of foreign students have received the benefit. Akash Sharma, who came to Canada three years ago on a study visa, said that the government had allowed international students to work for 40 hours a week after the spread of the coronavirus. However, he said that businesses closed due to the pandemic and many international students have lost their jobs. Foreign students who do not qualify for the COVID-19 emergency benefit are expressing their dismay over the lack of support because they have to pay rent and get groceries.
