They're switching everyone who applied for EI over to CERB. You're eligible for CERB based off:
Who have stopped working because of COVID-19 and have not voluntarily quit their job
or are eligible for EI regular or sickness benefits;

The process for now is that you will need to apply for EI after CERB is done but that could and probably will change between now and then.
