The Government of Canada has created a Temporary Income Support for Workers and Parents program for Canadians without paid sick leave (or similar workplace accommodation) who are sick, quarantined or forced to stay home to care for children. Application for the Benefit will be available in April 2020 and require Canadians to attest that they meet the eligibility requirements.
