Case in Question
1. Person lost job due to mass layoff by Employer, so eligible for EI
2. Applied for EI, Service Canada approved payouts for 36 weeks, with a start (in Sep 2024), and end date (in 2026)
3. Person had to immediately go outside Canada (North America) for some unavoidable long trip (several months)
I believe the policy is that the person must be physically in Canada to receive payments.
Question is:
1. Can the person still get all his 36 EI payouts once he is back to Canada in mid-2025?
2. Does the person still need to fill online reporting, even he is outside, or can we start doing them once back in Canada?
3. Any other thing to watch out?
Thanks for reading and your help.
