EI Applications On-line

All Canadians can now fill out their EI applications on-line. HRDC has recently rolled out this new service that will make things a lot easier for people, especially those in small and remote communities, to apply for EI. We encourage people from northern Saskatchewan to access this and many other on-line services at their local school through the KCDC Headwaters Project Community Access Centers. The on-line application will automatically prompt you if you miss a question, or provide incomplete information. This feature alone could save weeks of hold up for your EI claim.
