Am I eligible for EI regular benefits?
You may be entitled to receive EI regular benefits if you:
- are employed in insurable employment;
- lost your employment through no fault of your own;
- have been without work and without pay for at least seven consecutive days in the last 52 weeks;
- have worked for the required number of insurable hours in the last 52 weeks or since the start of your last EI claim, whichever is shorter;
- are ready, willing, and capable of working each day; and
- are actively looking for work (you must keep a written record of employers you contact, including when you contacted them).
You may
not be entitled to receive EI regular benefits if you:
- voluntarily left your employment without just cause;
- were dismissed for misconduct; or
- are unemployed because you are directly participating in a labour dispute (strike, lockout, or other type of dispute).
如果是老板连续7天没有安排工作，可以尝试申请EI，至于批不批还要看其他的因素；但是如果是因为自己不想干（申请十六以后去上班），估计申请不到。
When should I apply?
You should apply as soon as possible once you have stopped working, even if your employer has not issued your ROE yet. If you delay applying for benefits beyond four weeks after your last day of work, you risk losing benefits.
停止工作（预计将要大于连续7天）的时候就可以申请了，ROE可以后来再补。如果是电子的ROE，公司会直接发去Service Canada；如果公司给纸质的ROE，就要自己发给Service Canada.
