Who is eligable for EI?
 

Hi guys, just a short question, are we eligible for EI if we quit on specific grounds? if so, what are some examples?

Are you seriously asking us how you can commit fraud and steal money from us?

look for a new job and quit if you don't like where you are currently working...

So you want to not work, even though the company who employs you has work for you, and then you want the government to pay you for the work you aren't doing.

Congrats, you are the reason my generation is an utter disaster. Something for nothing, it's what every entitled sub 30 year old, who grew up with hardworking parents that gave them everything thinks they deserve.

I'm sorry to break it to you, that's not how the world works.

Fuck you OP

If you really want to fuck the government you can first start by not using any of the services they provide like roads and hospitals. That would really show them.

google showed me this.

EI is not a loan you can take out whenever you want. If that is the case EI deduction would be enormous.

Do a stealth job search and ride it out until you find a good fit like everybody else. In fact the moment you are unhappy at your job and there is no recourse, do a stealth job search. I have had terrible management and I am sure fellow revscener had too.

That's not how it works, this isn't money that you loan to the government temporarily and then you get to claim it back when you decide you want to not go to work like an adult anymore.


You should really stop looking down the hill and start aspiring to reach the top of the hill. What I mean is that, don't look at what the people below are receiving from who and where, you should look at what those who are above you (where most people strive to be), and do what you can to reach their level. Everyone has a different pyramid of success, some strive just to reach a level where they can enjoy themselves and have a comfortable life, Other's go the full walter white and want to live a life like Dan Bilzerian, this is dependant on each person. What I do know for a fact that nobody atop any pyramid, in anyone's mind anywhere is someone out of a job struggling to make ends meet on EI. So why you would even entertain this idea is ridiculous.

No successful CEO ever looks back and says "Wow I sure paid a lot of money to my secretary, I should go become one". That's the equivalency of what you are saying. "I paid a lot into EI, I should go on it and make that money back".

does EI work if you get into an apprentice program where its mandatory? and is it 50% of wage?

So many social justice warriors on RS. A guy in need of money for his situation, and people are siding with the government instead of helping the guy think of ways to work around for EI eligibility. As if the government is not already raping us on taxes and inflation, and people still have the moral to "not fuck the government" back. And yeah, one dude going on EI for the next 8 months of his life is totally fucking the government over.

If you've never been unemployed before due to shortage of work, lay offs, or whatever reason where you're eligible for EI, it sure as hell feels like you're funding the unemployed.

It's natural for someone to feel that way. Imagine the tax you pay goes to nothing. Or the CPP you pay, you'll never it get back. It would feel like shit right?




As for the OP, I've been in your situation before where a company I worked for is total shit. I just wanted to get out but worried if I quit, I will be unemployed for some time and I had bills that I have to pay.

If you really want to leave your company and still get EI, you need to do some research in how your company process and handle stuff like resignation, dismissals, absenteeism, workplace harassment, duty assignment, etc.

OP to answer your question look here

Employment Insurance (EI) and voluntarily leaving - Service Canada

And 40 more reasons

Both links should be read

yeah i heard this too, at my work place.. they told me to hop on the apprentice program, learn what you need to, work the hours you need to. go to school, hop on EI and get grants from the government. they do it so you dont have to stress about classes and going to school everyday. it'd be like doing a double for like 6 weeks, but you dont get paid for 8 of them LOL

i've been paying into it for over 37 years but have never been on it. do i get it back if i ask for it?

OP is a pussy. Grab him by the pussy.

N.V.M. is that old?

I have never in my life gone on EI, UI, whatever it was called over the years. Pension? Damn right I collect pension. Now that is something I will collect without feeling any guilt. I've paid my dues.

don't worry, you're still the oldest. :lawl:

but youngest at heart..........

As long as your user name isnt gululululu or similar, u should be eligible.

So you have been fortunate enough to work in an industry where work is steady, and you are valuable enough to the company you work for that you have maintained steady work. Why can't you just be thankful for that?

I know people who have been laid off, or fear job cuts, and having to go on EI. And you guys make it seem like it's a vacation. The point of EI isn't that you can take a break and still make money. The point of EI is to cover you eating ramen noodles while feverishly hunting for a new job.

Purposefully looking for a way to get yourself laid off just so you can go EI is so backwards. I sincerely hope you don't have this mentality with other social services, do you go to safe injection sites to gather free needles, just because it was your taxes that paid for some of them? Do you go eat at soup kitchen's with all the homeless people because you deserve free food?

Oh no wait you sound more like the type of guy who works for cash under the table while claiming EI and all sorts of low income grants.

As I alluded to before; if you have the mentality of a homeless person looking for handouts, you will one day enjoy being a homeless person looking for handouts. Amazing how this generation is contempt with striving for mediocrity instead of success. People accuse me of being a part of the rat race, and a corporate plug. No, I just strive for something higher than the life of a cipher.

I like paying taxes. In Canada we enjoy a level of social standard that's envied by many around the globe. Even living in Richmond my whole life... Sure taxes can be expensive, but around this city I see where our dollars go. New parks, green spaces, playgrounds, Xmas lights on trees, beautiful flower gardens on the medians etc.

What I don't like paying towards is your lazy ass trying to suck off the teet of our social system. The OP wouldn't be stealing from the government, he would be stealing from me (us). E.I is a great program. It's a system put in place to provide a helping hand for those in a tough situation get a leg back up on their life. And that is something I am willing to pay for.

I've had friends that earned good money in the manufacturing industry get laid off due to cutbacks. They go on EI, still pull in an equivalent of $25/h and stay on it for multiple years. Even my best friend, she did similar for years. Definitely lost a lot of respect for that person...

I'm not as old as. MG1, but I've been working since I was 16 and have yet to get a penny back for all that EI... I also have had 10 years of no accidents from icbc. Where's my $30,000 cheque back for all those years if insurance???

I have a chronic illness and, back in 2003, I became too sick to continue working my job. I had notes from my GP and my specialists stating that I was unable to continue my work activities. I talked to my employer about continuing to work in a different capacity that would be easier on my body, but they declined. I asked if I could be placed on sick leave, they declined. I asked if they could lay me off so I could collect EI, they declined. They told me I could either continue to work my job or quit, so I was forced to quit.

EI declined to cover me because I quit, even though it was for medical reasons. Disability wouldn't cover me because they didn't recognize my disease as a disability (they do now from what I hear). Welfare wouldn't cover me because my girlfriend, who I was living with, made too much money working part-time at Subway.

I ended up being income-less for 2.5 years while waiting for surgery (9 months) and then rehabilitating from surgery (along with several complications such as abcesses, which required further hospitalizations).

IMO, I should have had access to EI or some form of government support.
