I am REALLY sorry to post this here

[lgg 2]

SO sorry guys, I have an EI question but A) Hardly anyone is up there to answer and B) it's really hard to find anything related to CR1 visas and collecting EI .

I am afraid now that it's not possible?

I read that K1s need their EADs and such but what does a CR1 need and can I do it?

I remember asking all this months ago but since then and all the other stuff that's passed, I forget what to to or whatever. I"m going to quit 2 jobs here about a week or so before I move to the US stating that I quit both in order to relocate to teh US to be with my spouse.

So, if anyone can answer these questions for me, mainly, am I eligible, then I will go back to the EI thread and figure anything else out I need to know.

.

Sorry guys.

And Thanks,

LGG

With CR1 you can work once you recieve your SS card. Usualy comes with in three weeks. I recomend going to your local ss office to make sur eit has been ordered. If it has not they will order it then.

That is not an answer to my question in any way, shape or form. But thanks all the same.

Enlighten, that has really nothing to do with Lgg's question.

You are eligible for EI, muffin. When you apply it gives you an option to select relocation, if I remember right. You'll send a copy of your green card instead of a copy of the EAD like the K1's would.

You're my guinea pig, I mean, lab frog... you test it and let me know what to do? ok? I think you have to be able to work to get it... but, I'm not sure how to prove it to the Canadian agency. I'll read the answers with attention and bookmark this subject. Merci

@ Malr...

Frog Muffin! I sound delicious!

Thanks lovey and dear Trailmix... you guys rock. I was just wanting to get all this stuff organized in my brain. Oh, asked TM already but when you say, check off Relocation, this is pertaining to the cards and whatnot with the EI people,no?

Gotta say, I am going to organize myself timewise and such so that this is a distinct possibility -- it would really make transitioning easier.

I understand now about the EAD, it's not applicable to the CR1s.

Thanks again you guys.

I'll lurk around the EI thread now.

Shortly after you move (as soon as possible), you should fill out the EI application online. Even if you don't have your ROE by then, you can still fill out the form and submit the ROE later. You'll receive some stuff in the mail (probably within a few weeks) including a form you have to fill out and mail or fax in. They'll request a copy of your visa, which shows them that you're allowed to work, and your ROE (you have to submit the original - unless your employer has submitted it online) and some other stuff, but it's not too complicated at all. For the record, my employer just marked "quit" on my ROE (even though I asked repeatedly for them to specify WHY I quit, but oh well) and that didn't cause a problem with applying for EI.

A bit of info with all the links is here on the VJ Wiki Canada page as well

Okay, that's a deal, La Souris... happy to help out.

I would be THRILLED if it all went down adn I was able to. I don't see why not, I have paid into it since I was 15 -- it would be nice if they made my life easier in a work transition sort of way. Thrilled.

Hey, does anyone know what the time frame has to be like? I expecting to give 2 weeks notice at both my jobs and then about a week after that, move to the USA. So, I'll be applying about a week after I have my last day(s)... does that sound about right?

Will keep you posted as to all, La S...

Ah, good to know Holliday. I bet a lot of people just plain don't know that this is available to them.

Thanks for your info. We should really set up that EI wiki, that would be helpful. Trying to crawl though all the t hreads on the EI thread is painful...

I started at about page 30 and still got all stuffed up and confused.

Maybe when I've got some idle time in the US, I'll set it up for you all.

You've already received the answer to your question but I just wanted to add that the longer you've paid into it and the less you've collected means more weeks of benefits Check out this link:
