CRA CEWS Information Sessions: 9/24/2020

English version

Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy (CEWS) Question & Answer Sessions

The Government of Canada recently implemented changes to adapt the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy to protect jobs and promote growth.

The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) is committed to providing employers – including those who can now benefit as a result of the enhanced CEWS – with the information and resources they need to apply and benefit from this important economic measure. 

Resources can be found on CRA’s Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy Web page, including the Frequently asked questions - Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy and the CRA's Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy Calculator. To complement these resources, the CRA will host a series of interactive question and answer sessions for eligible employers and stakeholder organizations.
