No need to show proof of work permit to get CERB, Ottawa tells temporary foreign residents

The federal government has taken new steps to make it easier for international students and other temporary foreign residents to receive emergency benefits, another sign of Ottawa’s determination to disburse the payments quickly and widely.

The directive applies to everyone who claims to meet the programs other requirements and has a “900-series” social insurance number — people ranging from students to refugee claimants to temporary foreign workers and executives transferred from other countries. None are Canadian citizens or permanent residents.

“The Government of Canada will, whether it be in the upcoming weeks or at tax time next year, reconcile accounts and make sure people did not defraud the CERB,” she added via email. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has said the government will claw back unwarranted or fraudulent payments later, but had to get cheques out quickly because of the millions of people put out of work.

more vote pandering🙄 Trudeau has bribed every segment of Canadian society , now we can start with the pets

What could possibly go wrong?

Post trying desperately to trigger the right 🤦🏿‍♂️

This is insanity.

Proof would be required if it were their own money.

Unbelievable!!! what a fool we’re doomed

Just vote Liberal...simple

BS!

So if they leave the country before next tax season how would they pay back the tax?

An instant voter-buy.

OMG.

Why not? It’s only taxpayer money.

Wow yet bc is giving me the run around for the worker benefit of me proving I am a bc resident lol lived here 31 years yet a temporary foreign resident doesn’t have to show anything ? Lolol

What could go wrong?

Yet, there’s still a backlog of Canadian veterans waiting for benefits. Veterans require detailed proof of their needs.

..and people wonder why my flag is upside down. This country is definitely in distress.

This is horrible. Why is JustinTrudeau so determined to bankrupt this country? It’s not Canada’s job to babysit the world. If these people can’t afford to stay here they can ask their country for help or go home.

Canada’s generousity is a debt that will be paid by a generation that’ll spend their life fighting an uphill battle of high taxes, soul crushing debt and government services that can’t keep up. The ‘Me Generation’ is the most selfish and unaware EVER. onpoli cdnpoli

Do you think canadians in other countries are treated same....why should we spend our hard earned tax dollars on temporary residents. Absolutely ridiculous.

Money. To. Burn.

Why not? I just can't figure out why it's a good idea to not make them show any proof.
