Hi how can I make my will from outside Canada . I am stuck here because of covid. Thanks

[@Dontworryaboutit311]

Hello sir, I wanted to ask if I was previously not eligible for a certain period for the CERB. However, after the changes in requirements, I would have been eligible, could I apply for that past period? At the time I did not meet requirements but it changed and I never got to apply for the period.

[@YouCounsel]

Yes, you can

[@Dontworryaboutit311]

You Counsel what if I already applied for a period after that one. I applied for the current period but not the last one where I did make less than 1000 during the period.
