I will be moving to New Brunswick in the very near future.

I live in Ontario now and am working.

Do I qualify for EI when I get to New Brunswick or if I do qualify can I apply now?

Hello,

Thank you for sharing your situation and question with us.

We can appreciate that you would be interested in this type of information.

It is unclear if your contract is ending or if you will be voluntarily leaving your job.

You can find some detailed information on the Service Canada website in the Employment Insurance (EI) and voluntarily leaving section.

Here is an excerpt,

Various reasons may prompt you to quit voluntarily your employment. However, to be paid regular benefits, you must prove that quitting your job was the only reasonable alternative in your case. Here is a list of 40 main reasons which may justify voluntarily leaving. You will find for each situation, an overview of the reason, reasonable alternatives that may be used and why the reason for quitting is considered to be with just cause.


You may want to contact Service Canada - Employment Insurance directly for some information specific to your situation.

I hope this information is helpful. Please let us know if you have further questions and if there is any follow up to your question/situation.
