Have you considered applying for employment insurance?
"Employment Insurance (EI) provides temporary financial assistance to unemployed Canadians who have lost their job through no fault of their own, while they look for work or upgrade their skills."
Government assistance should be a safety net that is intended exactly for temporary situations like this, right? It's definitely not optimal, but perhaps it would be one avenue to follow up given the situation?
- unreal37 12y agoYou have to pay into Employment Insurance for a few months first, before you can collect it. Freelancers and other self-employed people don't qualify. Also, the safety net is generally only for citizens of a country who pay income taxes, not visitors as this person appears to be ("overseas").
