In 2025, Canada introduced temporary Employment Insurance (EI) measures to support workers impacted by U.S. tariffs. These include a pilot project boosting regional unemployment rates by 1% (minimum 7.1%), lowering EI qualification to 630 hours and extending benefits by up to four weeks for three months. For six months, severance rules are suspended for faster EI payments, and the one-week waiting period is waived for all claimants. Enhanced EI Work-Sharing Program flexibilities also help prevent layoffs. These steps, announced by Minister Steven MacKinnon, aim to stabilize the economy and protect Canadian workers amid tariff-related uncertainty.
