I don't have a Canadian bank account yet because I couldn't go during the first year. What else can I do?

Unfortunately, there isn't much else that you can do. If you know someone with a Canadian account, you can choose to deposit the money in that account (it doesn't have to be your own), or you can wait until you set up your own account. You'll be able to apply until 2022 I believe and students will only get the money sometime in September of this year I think so it wouldn't make much of a difference anyways.

If you get the Access Denied message, you can try closing that window and opening it again by clicking on the link in the Step 2 of 2 Minerva page.

Anyone know if this is for all post-secondary institutions? I know Concordia and McGill have access to the forms but I attend Bishop's and there is no such link on my student account.

From the quebec website:
Students will need to complete the application form, which will be available on their educational institution's website, from July 2, 2021. An alternative solution, such as sending an email, will be offered by institutions that do not have a website. Students should contact the Registrar’s Office of their educational institution for any questions regarding the identification process and access to the form.
Fairly certain ubishop is recognized by the ministere so I would just wait until next week or email someone at the uni.

According to this link, you just need to have attended an accredited post-secondary institution, which should include Bishop's:
To be entitled to benefit from this relief measure, a person must, during the fall 2020 or winter 2021 term:
- be enrolled in a Québec educational institution recognized by the Ministère de l’Enseignement supérieur
They're probably just dragging their heels on getting their website updated. Today is the first day that applications are open, after all.

Are international students eligible for this? And for how long applications for this will be open?
1
Are international students eligible for this?
It says "have the authorization to study in Quebec (for international students)" so I think you need to have a CAQ.
And for how long applications for this will be open?
Gov said until February 28, 2022

Anyone getting "A technical error occurred when validating the student eligibility" ?
1
If you get a "A technical error occurred when validating the student eligibility", this means that there is an issue with the government form and you should wait a bit and try again later.
