Employment Insurance (EI)
Employment Insurance provides temporary financial assistance for unemployed Canadians while they look for work or upgrade their skills.
Canadians who are sick, pregnant or caring for a newborn or adopted child, as well as those who must care for a family member who is seriously ill with a significant risk of death, may also be assisted by Employment Insurance.

You may be eligible for new EI measures created to give more support to self-employed persons and long-tenured workers, and to help Canadians receive training and access job market information. See What’s new for more information.
