@honeygirl-my employer extend my work permit, but i am planning to apply for EI, would it not affect our application for owp and PR? does my employer has to have a reason for my application of EI? how much usually will you get?
 
sara wat is the status of ur work permit? if it is valid u can apply your EI make sure that ur employer had a note on ur ROE that they dont need ur service and u can apply for it... more than haft of our wages maybe 600$ or more u can collect on our EI make sure your had good reason... ok
 
@honeygirl=- iam rosellyalung, it is still caregiver and it is valid up to jan 2012, i just had one employer and she is the one who extended my work permit and is it ok that she will terminate me and then apply for my EI? what did your employer said about the reason of you termination?

@ rosellyalung- you don't have to go home if 1) you have a valid permit (yours was till 2012) and 2) you have an "implied status" (since you already filed your PR before your work permit expires.) Lots of caregiver losses their jobs after 2yrs or either quit. It doesn't affect the application.
 
Helloy guys! we have tried handing in the letter to our MP here in Alberta and he said that we should mail the letter directly to Jason kenney, i guess we should do that all of us will have to do it send letters to Kenney until he realizes our concerns
 
@sarah-thank you! i am thinking twice to apply for EI, i dont know what will i do especially now that the processing times are adding up
 
@rosellyalung u dont need to apply 2x for Ei if they grant u in ei u will recive check every month up to 48 weeks unemployed they will stop that wen u start working dont worry ur in canada lol
