The CRA will also verify the applicant’s income, age, and residency — and in order to get the cheque, Canadians will have to file their 2021 tax return.
In a bid to help tackle skyrocketing rents across the country, the government of Canada will be opening applications Monday for a one-time top-up as part of the Canada Housing Benefit (CHB) program — an initiative that would put $500 in the pockets of low-income renters.
This comes amid an ongoing increase in renting costs. According to Rentals.ca’s November 2022 Rent Report, the average October rent price across the country was $1,976 per month, which it said was an annual increase of 11.8 per cent.
