Employment Insurance
 

Employment Insurance (EI) provides temporary financial assistance to unemployed Canadians who have lost their job through no fault of their own, while they look for work or upgrade their skills.

Canadians who are sick, pregnant, or caring for a newborn or adopted child, as well as those who must care for a family member who is seriously ill with a significant risk of death, may also be assisted by Employment Insurance.

It takes approximately four weeks to process a claim for employment insurance. If your claim has not been settled after four weeks, at your request, we can contact Human Resources Skills Development Canada (HRSDC).
