I understand Canadians can file and collect EI after moving on a K1 Visa to the US. I have talked to the payroll dept where I work in Calgary and they just told me to let them know what exactly it is they need to write in the comments section when they do up my ROE. They said they won't mark it as "quit"..... will mark it as "other" and then put an explanation in the comments section. My last day of work here will be Feb.28/07 and they have told me they will make sure I have my ROE with my last paycheque on the 28th. Any info on this subject greatly appreciated! I am leaving Canada on March 13/07.... so do I file before I leave and give them my ROE then...... I heard you file online after you are in the US ....do you then mail your ROE???? Like I said....any info would be helpful.

I will be flying out on March 13/07 with Calgary International Airport being my POE. Anyone else out there with the same POE with any info to share? My flight is at 3:20 pm and I am wondering how much ealier I should arrive at the airport. They normally say 2 hours for an international flight but that is without surrendering a K1 Visa.

See the EI discussion pinned to this board...

Allow at least an hour at the POE for processing of your visa in addition to other time considerations...

ROE is the record of employment!! It has Info on it that the EI people will require to calculate how much EI $$ you canget and for how long!! Ensure you photocopyit, as you have to mail in the ORIGINAL to the EI people!!

Canadians Visiting the USA while undergoing the visa process, my free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

3) keep ur response short and to the point, don't tell ur life story!!

4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!

5) Pack light! No job resumes with you

6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)

7) Always be polite, being rude isn't going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!

8) Have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didn't lie! Refer to #1

One copy is forwarded to EI by employer and then the employer gives you the original that you must submit to EI. Makes no sense but that's how it is done. I think they need to give it two you with your last pay.

ROE stands for Record of Employment and it comes from whomever in the business you work for does the payroll. I think they legally have up to approximately 2 weeks to mail it out to you.

I went through Calgary as my POE, and it was simple easy (I was K-1). It took me all of fifteen minutes to go through the process. However, I was fortunate--there were very few people going through the Customs area at the same time. I gave myself plenty of time--at least 2 hours between flights.

I tried to go to EI thread here but when I click on it.... it says the menu is disabled and I don't get anywhere. Am I doing something wrong?
