A number of circumstances for quitting are considered just cause
You are justified voluntarily leaving your job in the following situations if, considering all the circumstances, quitting your job was the only reasonable alternative in your case:

• sexual or other harassment
• needing to move with a spouse or dependent child to another place of residence
• discrimination
• working conditions that endanger your health or safety
• having to provide care for a child or another member of your immediate family
• reasonable assurance of another job in the immediate future
• major changes in the terms and conditions of your job affecting wages or salary
• excessive overtime or an employer’s refusal to pay for overtime work
• major changes in work duties
• difficult relations with a supervisor, for which you are not primarily responsible
• your employer is doing things which break the law
• discrimination because of membership in an association, organization or union of workers
• pressure from your employer or fellow workers to quit your job

Various reasons may prompt you to quit voluntarily your employment. However, to be paid regular benefits, you must prove that quitting your job was the only reasonable alternative in your case. Here is a list of 40 main reasons which may justify voluntarily leaving. You will find for each situation, an overview of the reason, reasonable alternatives that may be used and why the reason for quitting is considered to be with just cause.

Your reason for quitting your job is one the of the just cause but you need to proof it.
Good luck !

Individual needs to apply for EI, then call EI and have the agent put the reason they quit their job in their application and send it off to adjudication . Sometimes it’ll auto approve & sometimes and adjudicator has to manually approve it

You don’t qualify for EI. You left your job voluntarily.

Don’t see this situation as part of the potential reasons. They are not moving due to a marriage.

Point two does not say the move has to be due to marriage, if you look into it, it does say
6.5.3 Obligation to accompany a spouse, common-law partner or dependent child to another residence
The circumstances in which a person deems it necessary to accompany a spouse or a common-law partner to another place of residence may result from the voluntary decision one or both of the spouses or common-law partners made to change residence for various reasons. It may also be dictated by events such as the illness or serious injury of a dependent child forcing a person or family to temporarily or indefinitely relocate in order to be closer to treatment centres.
