Employment Insurance
Most Canadians have jobs covered by employment insurance. This means that they make contributions and receive benefits when unemployed. The Employment Insurance (EI) program provides temporary income support to those who are between jobs; cannot work for reasons of sickness, childbirth, or parenting; or who are providing care or support to a family member who is gravely ill with a significant risk of death.
