My Employment Insurance Claim has been Processed

My Employment Insurance (EI) Claim has finally been processed! It took over 8 weeks! WTF! Yes, I'm happy that I'll be finally getting my money that I desperately need, but why has the Canadian government legislated a hiring freeze in all areas of government (except politicians, of course), when it's clear that Services Canada needs more people to process EI claims! It's only gonna get worse, as the world's economy goes down the brink...

I feel ya dude, How am I going to try and stay off the streets if I don't have any money to live. I live in Canada and am about to take E.I for the first time.. Any tips would be great dude.

@DCMA247 Make sure you fill out any info required by E.I. Make sure you fill out your bi-weekly reports, and don't let them sit unfilled for more than 6 weeks. Last, make sure you declare any official income you get. If you don't, they'll find out eventually, and penalize you for not declaring it.

ya ei is just another way to tax us IF WE WERE WORKING THEN WE REPORT IT STUPID %#@!ING GOVERNMENT!!!

Employment insurance can't be taxed by the Canadian feds. At least I don't have that to worry about.

@CyberHangman I find it hard living day to day and if it was not for family I'd be screwed.. I really think I should get money back after all the years I worked and never asked for anything from the goverment of Canada.
