To find out if you're eligible to receive EI regular benefits, you must submit an application. The online application takes about 1 hour to complete. If you don't complete the application all at once, you can come back to it later using the temporary password that you receive when you start.
Always apply for EI benefits as soon as you stop working. You can apply for benefits even if you haven't yet received your record of employment. If you delay filing your claim for benefits for more than 4 weeks after your last day of work, you may lose benefits.

- "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.
- "I received a severance package, so I can’t apply for EI yet." You still must apply for benefits within 30 days of losing your job. 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.
- "I’ll receive benefits if I go back to school to update my skills." Don’t assume that upgrading yourself to become more marketable will automatically mean you’re eligible for benefits.
- "I’m not working, so I’m free to travel out of my area." You must report any travelling you do, because it makes you unavailable to look for work and therefore ineligible to collect benefits during that time.
