Re: Unemployment Benefits for New Immigrants?
Interesting responses, thanks guys. 
I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing out on anything.
However, what happens after 6 months. Can you not get anything then?
I'm aware of the link provided but I don't qualify because of settlement funds.
When I first got my SIN card - I sort of implied in an indirect way about benefits and got a 'what have you been smoking' sort of dirty look.
I guess there is no harm is trying your luck, though.

Re: Unemployment Benefits for New Immigrants?
I agree with the rest, you should apply for whats rightfully yours, and there's no harm in visiting a house on "who's your daddy alley" as some of the single parent scroungers would know every trick in the book to pull.
Good luck and report back what you find - it would be interesting to read as i'm sure lots of others would like this information too.
A Wiki article maybe?

Re: Unemployment Benefits for New Immigrants?
Comes here from bloody Somalia, claims benefits and turns around and makes a bleeding World Cup anthem-brain-worm which will have destroyed half the bleeding planet's will to live before the middle of July.
Is this what we pay our taxes for?
I think not!!
