What is the Service Canada Outreach Support Centre number?

The Service Canada Outreach Support Centre can be reached at 1-800-O-Canada (1-800-622-6232). This service is designed to help Canadians who do not have easy access to the internet or a local Service Canada office.

How do I request a callback from a Service Canada Outreach agent?

You can request a callback by filling out the online Service Request Form on the eServiceCanada website. An official agent from the Outreach Support Centre will typically call you back within 2 business days.

Can the Outreach Support Centre help with my EI claim status?

Yes, outreach agents can provide general information and assistance with the application process. However, for specific processing delays on an existing claim, you may still be directed to the specialized EI Call Centre.

Is the Outreach Support Centre the same as the EI Call Centre?

No. The EI Call Centre handles specific claim processing, while the Outreach Support Centre focuses on helping vulnerable populations, rural residents, and those with accessibility issues navigate federal services.

Are there in-person Outreach sites in my community?

Service Canada operates scheduled outreach sites in many rural or remote communities. You can find the schedule for your specific area by calling 1-800-O-Canada or checking the Service Canada office locator online.
