Canadian Emergency Commercial Rent Assistance (CECRA) Applications Now Open

Écrit par

Équipe fédérale

Today, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced that the application process for the Canadian Emergency Commercial Rent Assistance (CECRA) is now open.

The program, delivered in partnership with provincial and territorial governments, will provide forgivable loans to landlords of 50% of monthly rent, with the expectation that landlords and tenants will each contribute 25%. The program applies to April and May (retroactive), and June rent.

CECRA is available for small businesses paying less than $50,000 per month in gross rent, with annual consolidated revenues of less than $2 million, and that have experienced at least a 70% drop in pre-COVID-19 revenues. Non-profit and charitable organizations are also eligible for CECRA.

Applications must be made through eligible property owners, not through the tenants.

To apply, visit the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) website.

The government released the following schedule for applications:

Monday, May 25: Property owners in Atlantic Canada, British Columbia, Alberta, and Quebec, with up to 10 tenants who are eligible for the program.
Tuesday, May 26: Property owners in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Ontario, and the Territories, with up to 10 tenants who are eligible for the program.
Wednesday, May 27: All other property owners in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Ontario, and the Territories.
Thursday, May 28: All other property owners in Atlantic Canada, British Columbia, Alberta, and Quebec.
Friday, May 29: All property owners across Canada.

L’énergie, l’ambition que le Québec ne peut plus reporter

Quebec’s next government will not be judged only on its ability to manage public finances, public services or the economy. It will also be judged on a defining question: did it give Quebec the energy needed to support its ambitions?

Protéger votre projet contre les aléas électoraux en 2026

Les élections municipales de 2026 en Ontario se dérouleront sur un terrain connu, mais plus exigeant : le logement, l’abordabilité et les infrastructures locales qui rendent la croissance viable. Les maires, les conseillers et le personnel municipal subissent une pression accrue pour démontrer des progrès concrets, au-delà des simples débats. Pour les promoteurs, les institutions et les grands acteurs qui font avancer des projets à l’échelle municipale, cela signifie une chose : si votre travail est visible, il sera politique.
