Can spouse sponsored and landed 1 year ago apply for Employment Insurance (EI) and not breach the sponsor aggreement with IRCC...please advice

[caname91]

I need advice please.....I sponsored my spouse who has landed 1 year ago, my spouse worked but has stopped working and wants to apply for employment insurance (EI).....I remember as the sponsor I signed IRCC sponsor agreement to support my spouse after landing will not get or ask for government financial assistance or social assistance during the 3 years after landing as PR....and I don't want my spouse to apply for EI as this will breach my sponsor agreement and don't want any IRCC problems as the sponsor.....but my spouse disagrees and wants to apply for EI......please advice will IRCC consider EI as government financial or social assistance as my spouse just landed and the 3 years has not elapsed......and will spouse receiving EI create any problems

EI is not social assistance. You are good to go.
