Many people have asked if they can still be qualified for employment insurance benefits if they have been separated from their main job or one of the two jobs they worked.
Under the current regular EI rule, a person must have  7 consecutive days of separation from work to qualify for regular EI Therefore, the answer is yes. As long as one of the jobs you worked has 7 consecutive days of no work, you have then met the “Interruption of earning” criteria. You will still need to meet the insurable earnings and insurable hours requirement.

For special EI benefits, such as sickness, maternity/parental or compassionate care, if you have a drop of income below 60% of your average normal weekly earnings, you can qualify without meeting the 7 consecutive days rule. You still need to meet the insurable earnings and insurable hours requirement under special benefits criteria.

Once again, if there is a separation, you must request a Record of Employment (ROE) from your employer.
