When to apply
Be sure to apply for EI benefits as soon as you stop working. You do not need your Records of Employment to complete your EI application. If you delay filing your claim for benefits for more than four weeks after your last day of work, you may lose benefits.
Can I reactivate an old claim?
If you started a new EI claim within the last 52 weeks and there are still weeks payable on that claim, we will automatically reactivate (renew) your existing claim.
Do not start this application if you prefer to start a new claim. Instead, please contact us by calling 1 800-206-7218. Your decision to start a new claim is final and cannot be reversed.
It is important to consider:
- If your claim is reactivated and you work after the start of that claim, you may be able to establish a new claim when your existing claim runs out.
- In order to establish a new claim you must have enough insurable hours and meet the qualifying conditions for a new claim.
- If a new claim is established instead of reactivating your existing claim, the remaining weeks payable on the existing claim will be lost.
- Additionally, a two-week unpaid waiting period must be served on a new claim before you are entitled to receive payment.
Records of Employment
If your employer issues Records of Employment (ROEs) in paper format, you must request copies of all ROEs issued during the last 52 weeks. After you submit your EI application online, you will need to provide us with these paper ROEs – we cannot finalize your application until we receive them. For this reason, you must either mail us your paper ROEs or drop them off in person at a Service Canada Centre as soon as possible after you submit your EI application. The address of the Service Canada Centre closest to where you live will be provided once you have completed your online application.
If your employer submits ROEs electronically to Service Canada, you do not need to request a copy of your Record of Employment from your employer as you are not required to provide us with paper copies. If you would like to see copies of any ROEs submitted electronically, you can view and print them online using My Service Canada Account once your employer submits them to us.
If you are having difficulty obtaining your ROEs from your employers, we can help. Go to your Service Canada Centre or contact us at 1 800-206 7218. One of our agents will advise you how to obtain your ROEs or what information we need to process your claim.

In his second fight in just over a month, Frank Trigg dominated tough veteran Falaniko Vitale wire to wire en route to a unanimous decision victory at Strikeforce: Payback. Trigg looked very sharp in easily handling Makoto Takimoto in Tokyo at Sengoku 4 on August 28th, and his victory here was every bit as impressive. Trigg essentially dictated where and when the fight occurred, and Vitale had no response whatsoever. Aside from a 2nd round takedown, Vitale mustered precious little offense and spent most of the fight trying to counter Triggs sharp striking and takedown attempts. The CompuStrike stats clearly underscored Triggs superiority in the fight, giving him a lopsided 41 to 7 edge in strikes landed.

New York Jets rookie quarterback Mark Sanchez tracked down NFL legend Joe Namath before the game looking for a pep talk and some pointers. He didn't exactly get what he'd bargained for from Broadway Joe, but what the NFL Hall of Famer told him may have had a more beneficial effect. More importantly, the Jets easily beat the host Houston Texans 24-7.

The University of North Carolina used a 21 yard field goal on the final play of the game to pull a big college football upset over #13 Virginia Tech on Thursday night, winning by a final score of 20-17. The Tar Heels' #8 ranked defense proved as tenacious as their high national status would suggest, and gave the Hokies fits throughout. North Carolina led for most of the game, but withstood a late game Virginia Tech comeback bid to take the win. It was North Carolina's first ACC Conference win of the season.

The Mapes Hotel in Reno, Nevada met its demise on Superbowl Sunday of 2000 when 75 pounds of explosives packed inside the structure's support columns brought it to the ground. The controlled demolition came despite years of effort by a number of groups within the community to preserve the building with lawsuits, redevelopment proposals, and grass roots lobbying efforts. The National Trust for Historic Preservation even took up the cause, challenging the destruction in a lawsuit that eventually reached the Nevada Supreme Court.

A day after failing to make weight for his fight against Matt Hughes, Thiago Alves dominated the former UFC welterweight champion en route to a 2nd round TKO victory. The main event at UFC 85 in London was somewhat anticlimactic to the fans at the O2 Arena who considered the semifinal matchup between Manchester's Michael Bisping and Jason Day the biggest fight on the card. Bisping actually improved upon his excellent showing against Charles McCarthy at UFC 83 and pummeled Day mercilessly from the top mount position until the fight was stopped just past the 3 minute mark of the first round.
