Crazy timing! My wife got accepted to come to Canada 7 months early which is great!
And it's also the exact time I'm transitioning jobs. I have one lined up 3 weeks from now
or 1 week or so after she arrives.

But in the meantime It would be good if I can get some income if I apply to EI.
But don't want to break any rules.

EI is absolutely fine.

Social assistance/welfare is not.
