Getting EI withheld taxes back...

[MarkYYC 0]

Hi

I am living in the US now, and life is great! Visa journey helped SOO much to get me here!

I claimed EI after I moved, and now I am at the end of my claim.

I am wondering if, when I do my taxes next year, is there any way to get the 25% tax that the Canadian government withheld back?

Only if you spent 90% of your work working in Canada.

Only if you spent 90% of your work working in Canada.

Do you mean 90% of your yearly income working in Canada. For example if my income including EI is let's say $40,000, 90% of that must be earned while I was actually employed in Canada?

I think it's working hours. 90% of your hours working in Canada. I started a job here in the USA in Sept of 2013 so didn't qualify.

Best to consult a tax forum such as http://forums.serbinski.com/viewforum.php?f=2
