It was created to provide general EI information only.
Since the Christmas holidays fall under Sunday 25th and Monday (Boxing Day) 26th, the Employment Insurance office will be closed on Monday December 26th and 27th, 2022. If you complete your EI report over the Christmas weekend, you will receive the direct deposit on December 28 or 29th, 2022.
All EI claimants (regular or special benefits) may experience a delay of one or two business days in receiving their Employment Insurance cheques or direct deposit.
Therefore if you have completed your report over the weekend, you may receive your direct deposit payment on Wednesday or Thursday.

If you want to learn more about the new Canada Groceries and Essentials Benefit (CGEB), including who qualifies, how much you could receive, and when payments are issued, visit Tax Service Canada’s Canada Groceries and Essentials Benefit Guide. This comprehensive resource explains the eligibility requirements, payment amounts for individuals and families, application details for new residents, and important CRA payment dates. With the CGEB replacing the GST/HST Credit in July 2026 and providing increased support to millions of Canadians, staying informed can help ensure you receive every benefit you are entitled to. If you receive the Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS), now is the time to ensure your benefits continue without interruption. GIS eligibility is reviewed annually, and failing to file your income tax return or complete any required renewal steps could result in your payments being reduced or stopped starting in July 2026.
