Very recently Bill C-15: An Act respecting Canada emergency student benefits (coronavirus disease 2019), the legislation that implements the government's Canada Emergency Student Benefit ("CESB"), became law.
Under the CESB, eligible post-secondary students and recent graduates will receive $1,250 a month from May to August 2020, while those with dependents or disabilities will receive $2,000 per month (an increase from the originally announced $1,750).
Applications for the benefit are expected to be available by mid-May 2020.
