Can I claim Canada workers benefit if I worked in Canada in 2020 but I was on a temporary work visa? I had a low income. I left the country in mid November 2020. Thanks

As per CRA (Canada Revenue Agency),

  • earn working income
  • are a resident of Canada throughout the year
  • are 19 years of age or older on December 31, or you live with your spouse or common-law partner or your child
