EI (Employment Insurance)

Employment Insurance (EI) is a federal government program that provides temporary financial assistance to eligible workers who have lost their job through no fault of their own.

To be eligible for EI, you must have worked a certain number of hours in the past year and meet other requirements. EI benefits can help you cover living expenses while you look for a new job.

There are different types of EI benefits, including regular benefits, sickness benefits, maternity/parental benefits, and caregiving benefits.
