Canada Recovery Hiring Program

New proposed legislation extends the CRHP and replaces the CEWS and CERS

The government has announced new proposed legislation to extend the CRHP and introduce two new wage and rent subsidies to replace the CEWS and CERS. Details about when and how to apply for the additional CRHP periods and the new wage and rent subsidies will be available in December 2021.

As a Canadian employer who continues to be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, you may be eligible to apply for one of the two subsidies to cover part of your employee wages.

The CRHP and the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy (CEWS) support wages you pay through different phases of your economic recovery. Each claim period, eligible employers can claim either CRHP or CEWS, whichever is higher.
