    • "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.
