The canadian government has adjusted employment insurance plans recently to be even more lenient for the changing economy. Check this link out.. http://www.servicecanada.gc.ca/eng/ei/i … 2009.shtml Although I hate to see people abusing EI, and I can’t get EI myself as I am self employed, I think for the changing times it makes sense for more people to be using EI.
I think you need to be activily seeking a job to get EI, but I have heard of people just making stuff up and getting away with it when they are actually not seeking a job. Maybe the gov should tighten this up.
