IMPORTANT
Service Canada delivers programs and services, including Employment Insurance (EI), for Human Resources and Skills Development Canada (HRSDC).
The Canada Employment Insurance Commission (EI Commission) exercises the powers, duties and functions given to it in the Employment Insurance Act and its Regulations, as authorized by section 24 of the Department of Human Resources and Skills Development Act. The EI Commission delegates its authority for determining entitlement to, and payment of EI benefits, to EI Commission agents who work in Service Canada Centres.
If you decide to file an appeal, please ensure that your Service Canada Centre has your correct address, especially if you move during the appeal process. Your Service Canada Centre needs to have your current address on record to be able to send you information both during and after the appeal is processed.
