Government income does not qualify

What counts toward the annual figure has to be earned. Payments from EI, CERB and related programs are excluded from the income test outright, whatever their size.

History is a requirement

Three years as a Canadian resident, at least three trades on the credit file, and twelve months since any bankruptcy. The file needs age as well as cleanliness, so a newcomer or a fresh credit profile fails on time alone.
