Hi,
I have worked in Canada for almost 3 years. My contract got over on March 2020. My company informed that they will not renew my contract because of the pandemic. hence I had to apply for a visitors record. To sustain in Canada i also applied for CERB , both were approved. However,I stopped receiving CERB after Oct 3, 2020. I was asked to apply for EI which i did. But, after 2 months a representative told me that I can continue submitting my employment insurance reports but they will not give me the money unless i have a work permit or at least i have applied for one. He also said that, if i disagree, i can challenege the decision of the government within 30 days. At this moment i dont have any offer from any company . It is very difficult for me to sustain in Canada without any financial help. I had this impression that part of my salary is insured( as per my ROE ). Is there anyway i can get EI from the federal government while i look for work ? please help, Thanks.
