Has anyone recently filed for employment insurance after moving to the US? On service Canada's website, they state that you must provide proof that you are legally authorized to work in the US.. soo... you need to wait until you have an EAD?

Any insight into this would be greatly appreciated.

Oh yes u can!!! Read the sticky at the top or the link above provided

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

I actaully filed my last check last week, I didnt know if i were allowed to file on line here in U.S or not but i did it anyway, I figure i will have to pay it back. ANYWAY, now how do I keep my claim open? or is it too late, will I get in trouble because i never informed them of the move, visa etc.....

Yeah you should definitely give them a call.

The most people situation here is that we all left a current job to move with our spouse in the US, which makes us qualified for EI in the US from Canada. But if you were already on the EI in Canada that's another story.
