Employment Insurance

Employment Insurance (EI) is a government program that provides temporary financial assistance to individuals who have lost their jobs through no fault of their own, are actively seeking work, or are on certain types of leave. It helps replace part of your income during periods of unemployment, illness, or other qualifying events. To receive EI, you must have worked a specific amount of hours and meet eligibility criteria. The program also offers support for those caring for a newborn or newly adopted child. Overall, EI aims to provide financial stability while individuals transition to new employment opportunities.
