CEBA Loan Changes
Canada Emergency Business Account (CEBA) – Latest Update
The Government of Canada recently announced that the repayment deadline for Canada Emergency Business Account (CEBA) loans in good standing to qualify for partial loan forgiveness and the interest-free period end date will both be extended to January 18, 2024.
The Government of Canada has stopped accepting applications for the CEBA loans as of July 1, 2021, but we are continuing to provide support to members with funded and outstanding CEBA loans.
Important reminders regarding the terms of your CEBA Loan:
- Loan forgiveness will apply if the CEBA balance minus the eligible forgiveness amount is repaid by January 18, 2024;
- No interest applies before January 19, 2024;
- Commencing on January 19, 2024, interest will accrue on the balance of the loan at the rate of 5% per annum, payable monthly on the first day of each month, starting February 1st, 2024 and continues until the loan is paid in full.
- The full amount of the loan (including principal and interest) is due and payable on December 31, 2026.
CEBA Program Overview
The CEBA program provided a $40,000 or $60,000 loan to eligible businesses to help cover non-deferrable operating costs while they were affected by COVID-19.
Terms for loans repaid prior to January 18, 2024:
- Interest rate: 0%
- Principal payments are not required.
- Forgiveness:
- $40,000 loans: $10,000 may be forgiven if $30,000 is repaid by December 31, 2023.

Loans Refinanced:
- If you have an outstanding balance on your CEBA loan as of January 19, 2024, you will no longer qualify for partial loan forgiveness unless you have applied for refinancing through us on or before January 18, 2024, in which case you can still qualify for partial loan forgiveness if the outstanding principal of your CEBA loan, other than the amount available to be forgiven, is repaid on or before March 28, 2024 (provided that interest shall commence on January 19, 2024)
Terms for loans repaid after January 18, 2024:
