Just not true you need to show that you are actively looking for other employment to qualify for EI. If on a closed WP you are not able to look for other employment your WP limits you to your employer.
I will say it again stop saying things from top of ur head before doing your research. You can search for employer who have lmia they can offer you jobs. I am getting EI. I am on closed WP.
You are not entitled to EI though and you will have to pay back all the EI you received if discovered. You are incorrectly declaring that you are actively looking for work which you aren’t actually able to do on a closed WP. You would need a new WP to start a new job which means you aren’t currently able to look for another job that you could start any day. EI fraud not ideal if you want to remain in Canada.
Nobody on a closed work permit is entitled to EI if they lose their jobs. Looking for another job which would require an approved LMIA and new WP is not considered looking for a job that you can start immediately. If on an OWP you are entitled to claim EI if you meet the eligibility criteria.
You can search a new job even while working on close work permit or not working with the lmia employer anymore. Thats your right given by canada. But you can only look for employer who can provide lmia. Thats it.
I am telling you from my personal experience and many other i know who got EI. When i applied EI i called them and ask this information they told me yes you are entitled even on close work permit.
Lmia work permit doesn't mean that they hired a slave who cant search for new jobs or cant change the job if he found a better one.
Because I used to work at EI
You have to be open & willingly able to work
You can’t if you have a closed work permit and no longer working at the job the closed work permit was attached to
So in affect you’re lying when you’re doing your weekly EI reports
It’s one of THE questions asked on the weekly reports
And none of this I paid into EI so I should get to be able to claim it
That’s not how it works
For each week of the report, you need to:
indicate dates and hours worked and earnings before deductions, even if you'll be paid later.
provide the contact information of any employers.
enter hours spent at school or in a training course and any training allowance received.
indicate whether you were available for work.

Brother i was confused too. So i called the EI. They were confused too then they transferred to the supervisor he took my case and told me he will confirm and call me back with all the information. When I received the call they told me after confirming from higher management yes close work permit can apply for EI. I was approved including with other close work permit applicants. I know many other who was thinking the same but after i told them my experience they applied too and got approved for EI until they found new job with lmia. It was not some special case. I am telling my personal experience.
