Here is the thing, you and your wife decided to move to a new city. This is considered a personal decision under EI, and therefore is not considered just cause.Jaspie wrote: ↑Aug 10th, 2016 10:27 amHi Everyone,
Hopefully there's enough experience here to answer my question.
My wife and I are both fully employed and have been for a long time. We have decided to re-locate to a new city which is about 2hrs away. She has a new job lined up but I will have to quit mine to move and so far nothing is avail for me. I know there is a clause which states that following a spouse for new job is reasonable cause to quit a job. But what i'm wondering is whether my wife would have had to be layed off or if the fact that she just decided to move on her own is still acceptable for me to get EI benefits until I find something else.
We are not trying to milk the system at all, so I hope I have no concerns to qualify for a bit.
Thanks for your time

I am currently applying for a leave of absence (I dont have medical papers yet so I'm leaning on to apply for personal leave of absense)
Right now I'm just using my sick days due to printing issues and I want to know what to expect
I have been working at my job in tech support for almost 3 years now full time (its work from home)
I have over 1000 hours in Toronto
I was recently raped at home because I do have a problem with alcohol and I decided to order some food
I would like to take a few months off to find help for this rape experience and help with my alcohol
I was wondering would I qualify for E.I. I currently don't have medical papers because it just happened on Sunday
Thank you in advance![]()

That wording is from what?Arrow123 wrote: ↑Aug 15th, 2016 2:48 pmI'm a little confused about the wording here.. TIA
In addition to EI benefits, you’ll receive:1st and 2nd are easy. But what's the difference between the 2nd and 3rd items? I'm guessing the 3rd one is less beneficial than the 2nd.
- four weeks of pay topped up to 100% of your regular earnings
- two weeks of pay topped up to 80% of your regular earnings
- 11 weeks of pay topped up to 80% of regular earnings above the year’s maximum insurable earnings

If she can't work due to illness/medical reasons she can collect up to 15 weeks of sickness. She'll have to talk to her doctor and he/she will determine if your wife needs to be off.Eric1010 wrote: ↑Aug 17th, 2016 10:08 amHi guys, just wanna ask how can a pregnant woman claim sickness EI? I know the doctor needs to submit INS5140 but on what ground will a doctor permits an almost-due pregnant woman to claim sickness EI?
Referring to the situation of my previous post, my wife's temp job has notified her the contract will end in Sept. She is due in March 2016 and has accumulated 600 hours for maternal EI which can starts as early as mid-Jan. The issue is she will be out of work from Oct to Dec and pregnant in the 3rd trimester.
We think she is also eligible for regular EI - but we don't think she is capable of finding job actively so it defies the definition of regular EI. We are hoping she can either hop onto another temp job for that 3 months (may be hard) or get sickness EI. We are also not sure if she can get maternal EI after regular EI. We haven't applied for EI in the past and found our case pretty confusing.
Any advice is appreciated. Thanks all in advance!

You won't be denied but you'll most likely qualify for fewer weeks since you'll have fewer qualifying hours in your qualifying period. As for your earnings while on claim:Babiah wrote: ↑Aug 17th, 2016 10:13 amHi All -
I will be applying EI for the first ever time and have a couple of basic questions.
I got laid off after 5 years of consecutive employment with the same company on 31 May 2016. I did not apply for EI straightaway and was out of country for over a month returning back last week. Can Service Canada deny my EI claim based on the late application? I am really concerned about the late application and hoping it will not be a reason for EI denial.
Also I have heard that I can work unto 40% of my weekly entitlement without deductions under a new pilot scheme launched a few days ago. My annual income was almost double the maximum insurable income and I am assuming I will get $537 weekly EI benefit. So I can earn $ 214 each week without getting any deduction from my EI benefit?
Looking forward to your expert opinions.
