Due to Covid-19 if a claimant was registered for the self-employed program, they will need to have made at least $5,000 in net earnings in 2020 to be eligible for benefits in 2021. (As of the time of writing, these changes are in effect until September 25, 2021. Please check the CRA website for potential extensions or changes).
