Hello! I'm trying to understand whether I can accept or not a job offer for next Spring. Here's my situation:
I'm a PR and I've been working for 2 years in Canada.
My present temporary job contract will end in February.
In the middle of March, I've been offered a temporary part-time position (internship) in France, in remote: I will stay in Canada.
Now, since it is a temporary part-time position (30 hours; 300 dollars/week) I would like to ask for EI to compensate (or, if Covid19 allows me, have another part-time job).
I've called today Service Canada and it seems that I can claim my EI if:
4. if the new employer won't pay for EI, I won't accumulate EI since the salary won't be considered as insurable earning.
Can you confirm?

I've called today Service Canada and it seems that I can claim my EI if:
- I will be at least 7 days without a job
- I will work less than 35 hours/week
- my salary will be less than my total EI
4. if the new employer won't pay for EI, I won't accumulate EI since the salary won't be considered as insurable earning.
Can you confirm?
Other questions:
- The agent told me that I can work max 35 hours, but according to my knowledge, it is considered a "full time" job (so a red flag for EI) 30+ hours... What is your opinion on this?
- How do I declare this for EI and for taxes?
