Hi all,
Tried to search through the threads but couldn't see one that matched my issue! I have recently found out I am pregnant, which we are very excited about. I am however currently in my restoration period. I was here on a 2 year open work permit which finished in June and now we are waiting on PR so have applied to restore our status as visitors.
I have worked out that I will have the required 600 worked hours within 1 year which is part of the eligibility requirement for mat EI. Assuming we get our PR in the next 6 months, does anyone know if I will successfully be able to claim for EI on my original SIN number for my work permit even though I ended up here 'without status'? I likely won't be back to work before baby is born.
Thanks so much
