NCOV emergency care benefit for TFW
- Thread starter ghel
- Start date
I’ve been trying to figure that out. Some places say yes (because I meet the other requirements and have been temporarily laid off) and others also have no idea.
To the best of my knowledge you qualify provided you work permit is still valid and you have worked the number of insurable hours required to qualify (typically 600-700 hours).
Employer making EI contributions, minimum insurable hours worked, laid off ( shortage of work) quitting only in VERY extenuating circumstances
That doesn’t make sense . Has your employer been contributing to the CRA with your payroll deductions? How long is your permit for ? How many hours did you work prior to your surgery? There are a minimum amount of hours required to qualify , as well as when you’re permit expires. Has your employer issued you a T4 for the previous year ?
Did your employer issue you a record of employment showing your reason for the employment disruption as sickness ?
If you’ve worked the minimum amount of hours to qualify, you do not need your employers authorization to apply for EI
You’d go online and apply as usual if you qualify . If there’s a issue with your ROE someone from Service Canada will call your employer and question why they have not issued you a ROE for the time period you’re off due to illness . Do you have a medical certificate issued by a Doctor?
I looked at your previous postings and time frame
-just want to share my timeline.
