Employment Insurance (EI) refund?
Hello all,
I need your expert advise :) I've been a PR for about a year and a bit now, happily paying EI. However, I hadn't realized that because I got PR via Family sponsorship (my wife), I can't ever claim any of it. Just wondering if it's possible to opt-out and get a refund for EI paid? Many thanks! |

If you are not working for a family member I believe you should be just as eligible for EI payments as anyone else, and can not opt-out.. |

Are you working for a family member? If so then you can not claim EI and you can claim back any payments made in error, within certain time limits, you opt-out by stop paying.

Thanks everyone for your advice! I wasn't employed by a family member. I was just under the wrong impression EI was social assistance.
Guess I should apply for EI then :D |
