1/ No, if you voluntarily quit you won't be eligible for regular EI benefits.

What you should know
You are thinking of quitting your job. Did you know that if you voluntarily quit your job without just cause, you will not be paid regular benefits. After quitting your job, you must work the minimum number of insurable hours required to get regular benefits.

However, you may still be paid maternity, parental, sickness and compassionate care benefits as long as you qualify for these benefits.

What voluntarily leaving" means
"Voluntarily leaving" means that the employee took the initiative and not the employer to end the employment. Voluntarily leaving is considered without just cause when you do not take every reasonable alternative available to you to avoid unemployment.

To be paid regular benefits you must show that quitting your job was the only reasonable alternative in your case, considering all the circumstances. In other words, you took all the necessary steps to avoid being unemployed.
