Canadians are hurting economically with the country's economy expected to shrink by 6.2 percent this year. And though the federal government is responding with unprecedented relief efforts, accessing those benefits can be challenging. Blue J Legal - a startup that uses AI to predict court outcomes - recently launched a free new COVID-19 tool to help people and businesses determine the programs and credits for which they are entitled. Frequently updated to help users make relevant and timely decisions, the navigator provides direct links outlining contact information, eligibility criteria and application process.
This navigator applies to both individuals and organizations such as businesses.
Once you have completed the questionnaire, the list of programs and credits most relevant to you will appear. It will include programs and credits available in the province or territory that you have selected as well as the federal programs and credits for which you may be eligible. The majority of the programs and credits listed are government-led or government affiliated.
Hyperlinks will be provided for each program and credit outlining the contact information, eligibility criteria and the application process so that you may access more detailed information.
If you are an individual who also personally employs others in full-time or part-time work, you should also run this navigator again as an organization as you may be entitled to additional programs and credits as an employer.
