Another EI Question?

This doesn't mean that these are the only reasons that you can leave the country without being cut off of EI.
It means that these are legitimate reasons to still collect benefits while you are away.

There won't be many other valid reasons that EI will accept for leaving the country.

Filing from another part of Canada and claiming that you are available may be more difficult to detect but it is just as illegal as being in another country.

Not if you apply to some companies while you are there

There won't be many other valid reasons that EI will accept for leaving the country.

You don't need a valid reason to leave the country while you are on EI.
You need a valid reason if you want to collect benefits while you are away.


Under most circumstances you are not allowed to receive regular benefits for any period in which you are not in Canada. However, you can receive regular benefits provided that you are available for work in Canada and that you inform your Service Canada Centre of your temporary absence in the following situations

It does not state, under most circumstances you are not allowed to leave the country.

Thanks for the tips guys, I did't think I could collect while away. I am sure, I could report from abroad but they probably have something set up on their site to find an out of country isp. Anyway, like I said, I don't want to do anything illegal, so that is not an option. So it looks like if I go I will have to tell them, and see what happens. If I lose it, I lose it. As far as decent job prospects around here it doesn't look good. I might have to move back to Alberta.

Good luck on trying to get a job in Alberta right now
