Simplifying job search responsibilities for EI claimants

The Government reversed the 2012 changes to the EI program that strictly defined the job search responsibilities of unemployed workers and forced them to move away from their communities and take lower paying jobs. Long-standing requirements that claimants must search for and accept available work while on EI will continue to be upheld. This change takes effect on July 3, 2016.
