You may be entitled to employment insurance (EI) benefits if you lose your job through no fault of your own (for example, you were dismissed without cause) and you are available and able to work, but aren't able to find work. EI benefits provide regular financial benefits to assist you through the transition of job loss. You must apply for EI benefits as soon as you stop working. A delay in filing for EI benefits may affect your eligibility. | |||
You may be entitled to EI benefits if you: | |||
*were employed in insurable employment; | |||
lost your job through no fault of your own; | |||
have been without work and without pay for at least seven consecutive days in the last 52 weeks; | |||
have worked for the required number of insurable employment hours in the last 52 weeks or since the start of your last EI claim, whichever is shorter; | |||
are ready, willing and capable of working each day; | |||
are actively looking for work (you must keep a written record of employers you contact, including when you contacted them). | |||
You may still qualify for benefits, even if you work for an employer who is related to you. | |||
You may not be entitled for benefits: | |||
if you voluntarily left your job without just cause | |||
if you were dismissed for misconduct | |||
if you are unemployed because you are directly participating in a labour dispute (for example, a strike, lockout or other type of conflict) | |||
during a period of leave that compensates for a period in which you worked under an agreement with your employer, more hours than are normally worked in full-time employment. | |||
