I applied for EI but I had to wait almost 3 months to start. It depends on how much you also get from your company. So the week I suppose to get my 1st check from EI I got job already and I never took money from EI. I talked to some other ppl and they said it is not an issue for sponsorship as long as you are not taking the social assistance. You pay for EI in your every paycheck and his is your right. The requirement from CIC is your income for the year cannot go below the mark they provided for the year. What is your application status? Which stage are you in right now?Novice11 said:Hi,
Congratulations to the applicants who have received SA and PPR etc,
I need suggestion for my case,
Applied in Jan 2016, (with income for 2012, 13 and 14),
Now I am losing my job on 29th Dec 2016 (employer gone to Mexico),
My question is: "Shall I apply for EI or not"
if CIC asks for my income is sufficient for 2015 and 2016 as well
