EI (Post restoration)

[immanii]

Hi all, My PGWP was expiring in March 2024, I had my PR application in progress at that time so I applied for BOWP extension before March. But my extension was refused in June and I went out of status and my PR application was put on hold. Because of this I was laid off from work.

I applied for restoration and got my PR approved (received eCOPR) recently. I applied for EI as I'm unemployed and haven't found any job yet. My EI is under review, but I just wanted to ask if I would be eligible to receive EI? Do I need to provide them with some additional information?

I would appreciate if someone could shed some light on this issue. Any kind of info would be great.

How are you eligible for EI since you lost status? You were laid off because your WP was refused not because you lost your job due to layoffs.

Have you received an update on EI?

They didn’t qualify for EI so it should have been refused

I actually did get approved for EI after I got my PR. The lady handling my case was nice.

I waited for a few weeks after getting eCOPR so I don't know if that was one of the reason.
