So far the government has given close to $100 Billion dollars to Canadian businesses (including registered charities and non-profits) who have had fluctuating monthly sales adversely affected due to the pandemic's economic impact through emergency response programs.   If your business was registered and active before March 1, 2020, and you had employees (that receive T4s) or a commercial space that you owned or leased, you may qualify for a large refund of wages, rent, building operating expenses or all.

Thank you for your answers. In order to be eligible for any of these Subsidies you must have a registered business number with the CRA. AND You must have Sales/Revenues prior to the Pandemic. You indicated that you do not have a CRA business number AND/OR Sales/Revenues in 2019 and therefore, you will NOT be eligible to receive any subsidies. If you have a charity or non-profit organization that is registered with CRA, then you will most likely have a CRA business number. If you beleive you have answered any of these questions in error, please hit the "back" link and re-enter your answer.
Based on the answers to the questions it appears that you are not eligible for any of the emergency Subsidies for one or more of the following reasons: Either: 1.       You didn’t T4 any employees pre Covid or your payroll is too small 2.       You didn’t rent or own any space or the amounts are simply too small.
