You also have to earn a minimum of $3,000 during the tax year. There is also a maximum income you can earn to qualify for the CWB that varies depending on the province you reside in.
To check the maximum income amount for your province, please see the Canada Revenue Agency article: Net income level where the recipient is not eligible to receive the Canada workers benefit.
