CEBA Expanded-Additional $20k Loan

This is great news!

I wish the trudeau will vet these small business more than blindly handing out another 10k free

Announcement of extensions to CEBA and CEWS: https://www.canada.ca/en/department-fin ... demic.html

Great news for small business, but there are still some issues not sorted out from the earlier CEBA loan program:

- The banks were all over the place in how they decided to hand out the loans, no consistency. Confusion reigned.

- Some banks (like BMO) appeared to be treating them as personally guaranteed by whoever submitted the application on behalf of the business. Neither the banks nor the government have ever clarified the exact responsibility for the loans, and what will happen as inevitably some businesses go bust and won't be able to repay the loans.

I wonder what the criteria for the extra $20k CEBA is

Nothing in RBC yet, considering the disaster with them specifically over CIBC, TD and BMO last time around I'm not expecting much.

The government announcement said something about companies having to provide a written "attestation of the impact of COVID-19 on the business".

Maybe something like "COVID-19 broke our business."

Wait - now it's $20K in free cash with no qualifier if the business needs it or not? I already know a few people abusing the first $10K and the wage protection when their business has never been busier. What a sham.

How to apply?

@unodos is correct. So far all of this has been handled by the bank that has your business accounts. I am certain that the additionally $20k will be done the same way.

And just like the first round, the government is slow to release information

Yes..I think there will be conditions set or may be further delayed

BTW just recently the Fed Government announced that they are expanding CEBA loans to self employed/businesses that are operating through personal accounts and don’t have a business account

I've seen it RBC over over a month now, since what October 9th? It's almost December 9th and you still can't apply.
