Thanks. But where do they base, salary or hours? Am i still eligible to receive EI?

Full time work is considered to be 30-40 hours a week in most parts of Canada. EI is based on hours worked.

1,. But OP still have to inform them of his earnings for the week, immaterial if it is full time or part time.

If you’re receiving EI benefits

While you are receiving Employment Insurance (EI) benefits, you must complete reports to show that you are eligible. The Internet Reporting Service is a simple, fast, convenient and secure way to submit your EI reports online.


To make it easier to check when your next report is due, register for My Service Canada Account (MSCA). Once you’re registered, log in and select “Employment Insurance (EI)”, then click “Latest claim” or “Payment information”.

As long as you didn't receive any EI in the same time period you were working and got paid, you should be ok regardless of picking the wrong job type.
