Annex 3.1 – Employment Insurance Part II: General definitionsFootnote 1

Eligibility for Employment Benefits and Support Measures or similar programs funded under Part II

In 2018‑19, to be eligible for Employment Benefits, individuals were required to be unemployed and have a current Employment Insurance (EI) claim as an “active EI client” or a claim that ended in the preceding five years as a “former EI client.” Those who began a maternity or parental claim in the preceding five years, after which they left the labour market to care for their newborn or newly adopted children, also qualify as former EI clients and are eligible for Employment Benefits upon re-entry into the labour market. In addition, in 2018‑19, eligibility for Employment Benefits was expanded to include all unemployed individuals who made EI premium contributions above the premium refund contribution threshold ($2,000 in earnings annually) in at least five of the last 10 years. These clients are said to be Premium Paid Eligible (PPE).

Unemployed individuals who are neither active, former EI clients, nor PPEs are considered “non-insured” and are eligible to participate in Employment Assistance Services (EAS), as well as self-services provided by the National Employment Service. In 2018‑19, eligibility to EAS was expanded to include employed Canadians. In addition, Budget 2022 also announced the amendment of Part II of the Employment Insurance Act to broaden eligibility and the types of training and employment supports funded under the LMDAs with provinces and territories. The legislative changes to EI Part II received Royal Assent on June 23rd, 2022, and provided the framework to follow through on Budget 2022 commitments to modernize the labour market transfers. Modernized labour market transfers will advance the Government’s efforts to support the needs of business, enhance skills training to support emerging sectors, and increase the workforce participation of designated and/or under-represented groups.

Labour Market Development Agreements

Labour Market Development Agreements (LMDAs) provide the frameworks within which programs and service delivery takes place. EBSMs are defined in the EI Act, providing provincial and territorial jurisdictions (PTs) parameters within which they deliver programs and services that are “similar” to the EBSMs that were delivered by the Government of Canada prior to the introduction of the LMDAs. Since 2010, all PTs have been responsible for the design and delivery of programs similar to Employment Benefits and Support Measures (EBSMs) established under Part II of the EI Act. Canada retains responsibility for the delivery of insurance benefits under Part I of the EI Act and for the aspects of labour market development reflective of national interests. For more information on LMDAs, please refer to: About the Labour Market Development Agreements program.

Apprentices

Apprentices are paid by their employer during periods of practical training. During the classroom portion of their training, apprentices are eligible for regular benefits under Part I of the EI Act. The apprentice requires a referral under the authority of Section 25 of the EI Act to access these benefits. Depending on the regional and local priorities of the province or territory, the apprentice may receive EI Part II support to cover classroom-related expenses.

Indigenous Skills and Employment Training

Indigenous Skills and Employment Training (ISET) was introduced in April 2019 as the successor to the Aboriginal Skills and Employment Training Strategy. The program’s objective is to help reduce the skills and employment gaps between Indigenous peoples and non-Indigenous. Co-developed with Indigenous partners, the ISET program includes 4 distinct labour market strategies with separate funding envelopes for each group: First Nations, Inuit, Métis, and Urban/Non-affiliated Indigenous peoples. It provides new investments and longer-term, more flexible agreements to Indigenous service delivery organizations. With Indigenous partners, the Government is advancing reconciliation by creating more job training opportunities for Indigenous peoples.

The ISET program offers activities that support a holistic approach to service delivery. The eligible activities encompass a wide range of labour market activities including locally designed programs in support of each distinctions-based labour market strategy. Indigenous service delivery organizations may provide:

  • employment-related and career development assistance
  • wrap-around supports, such as living expenses
  • financial assistance to support individuals in obtaining skills for employment
  • tuition costs
  • business coaching and mentorship
  • disability-related supports

Job Bank

Job Bank is an Internet service that helps connect employers and workers. It is the largest web-based network of job advertisements across Canada and is available to Canadian employers and job seekers free of charge. See Job Bank.

Annex 3.2 – EBSM program descriptionsFootnote 2

Employment Benefits

Targeted Wage Subsidies assist participants to obtain on-the-job work experience by providing employers with financial assistance toward the wages of participants. This benefit encourages employers to hire unemployed individuals whom they would not normally hire in the absence of a subsidy.

Self-Employment provides financial assistance and business planning advice to participants to help them start their own business. This financial assistance is intended to cover personal living expenses and other expenses during the initial stages of the business.

Job Creation Partnerships projects provide participants with opportunities to gain work experience that will lead to ongoing employment. Activities of the project help develop the community and the local economy.

Skills Development helps participants to obtain employment skills by giving them direct financial assistance that enables them to select, arrange for and pay for training.

Support Measures

Employment Assistance Services consist of individual counselling, action planning, job search skills, job-finding clubs, job placement services, the provision of labour market information, case management and follow-up.

Labour Market Partnerships help employers, employee and employer associations, and communities to improve their capacity to deal with human resource requirements and to implement labour force adjustments.

Research and Innovation supports research and broader labour market activities that identify better ways of helping people to prepare for or keep employment and to be productive participants in the labour force.
