It doesn't say anything about eligibility of such cases when a person physically in Canada but works for overseas company and then loses his job.

Yes, it does. To qualify you must have worked a minimum number of insurable hours.

If you were working for a company overseas, you won't qualify unless they were processing your payroll in Canada, including withdrawing the applicable Canadian payroll taxes and submitting these to CRA.
