Case Overview: Silvia Dumbrava sought judicial review of decisions denying her claims for the Canada Emergency Response Benefit (CERB) and the Canada Recovery Benefit (CRB).

Initial CRA Decision: The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) determined Dumbrava did not meet the minimum income requirement of $5,000 for eligibility in 2019, 2020, or the 12 months prior to her application.

Judicial Review Outcome: The court dismissed Dumbrava's application for judicial review.

Court's Reasoning: The court found the CRA's decisions reasonable and aligned with established eligibility criteria, lacking evidence of procedural shortcomings.

Background: Dumbrava was a student and part-time worker for her father, a real estate agent. She sought CERB and CRB for multiple periods in 2020 and 2021.

CRA Review Process: The CRA conducted eligibility reviews, concluding Dumbrava failed to demonstrate she met all eligibility criteria, including income requirements and cessation of work due to COVID-19.

Applicant's Evidence: Dumbrava provided invoices and a tax slip as proof of income, but the CRA deemed them insufficient, particularly given the familial relationship with her employer.

Court's Analysis: The court evaluated the decision's reasonableness, noting the burden of proof was on Dumbrava to demonstrate the decision's unreasonableness.

Conclusion and Costs: The court found the CRA's decisions reasonable and dismissed the application for judicial review without costs.
