Work From Home with remote Montreal Jobs while earning CERB.
As some of you may not know, you are allowed to earn up to $1,000 of additional revenue WHILE receiving CERB (Canadian Emergency Revenue Benefit). The Federal government rolled that out to help people meet their current financial needs (as most Canadians cannot live on $500/weekly). It is mostly to help struggling businesses continue to justify being able to keep very part-time employees as their business begins to slowly recover.
For example, being a waitress but now your restaurant only offers delivery and you’re left with just a few hours a week to take care of those orders. It also includes Canadians getting completely different jobs other than from their career to make ends meet.
Set your pride aside and go into survival mode as no job is too “ghetto” or “blue-collar” to prevent your bills and bank accounts from becoming delinquent. Why watch your credit and peace of mind take a sudden hit just because you feel that taking a side job is beneath you? Your family will respect you being able to put a warm meal on the table, no matter what you do.
