- "I can apply for EI anytime." You must apply for benefits within 30 days of losing your employment. "Then, if you’re denied benefits, you have 30 days to appeal that decision," says Cathy Davis, the executive director for Labour Community Services of Peel in Mississauga, Ont.

Your severance package will be evaluated by the Human Resources Skills and Development Commission (HRSDC), then, at the end of that allocation, you may be entitled to receive benefits if you’re still unemployed.
