EI, cards and address

[Emancipation 2]

I dont know who called me yesterday.....another part of my communication problems when it comes to speak english on the phone...

1- I hate talking on the phone with people I dont know ( always had some sort of fear, Im shy on the phone I dont know why)

2- Its even worse in english because when I dont get something and I ask the person to repeat, and usually they repeat as fast as the first time and i still dont get it so I get discouraged and I dont have the courage to ask again...

I feel so silly sometimes.

the number I called was this one 1-877-486-1650 and I also have this once 1-800-808-6352

I will try yours Emancipation thanks

/sigh

/kick herself in the butt to try to call again

Memphy's just to be clear.. You called the right number for Out of Country claims office.. But you can call the regular EI line to just update your address And you can probably speak to someone in French on that line But aren't ALL gov workers required to speak in both french & englisH?

And I COMPLETELY understand your fear of speaking wtih people you don't know. I have that issue as well.. ESP when it's gov workers

So the lady called me back from the message I left yesterday......in french

Address is changed to USPS standard

Married name is added

And I asked to complete the cards by phone and she did from May 20 to July 14 which is the day my K-1 expires. She told me just top advise them when I get work authorization after that

Thanks a bunch girls!

Only thing I ask about how the decision is made and what about the money and stuff and she started with detailed information on number of weeks and she said 39 , then 13, then 25 and she got me confused there......Ill see what happens..... Of course its my first time claiming EI and I dont know nothing about how it works...

lol

I think Federal employees are supposed to be bilingual but I'm not sure.

Mephys, I'm glad that you got that worked out!

Excellent all together!!!!! They told me 4 weeks to make a decision.. it ended up being 5 weeks after I gave them the SSN information, but this was 1 1/2 months after I initially applied - Did you get registered for direct deposit or are you getting checks?

[Mephys 2]

direct deposit, I still have my canadian account for my student loan.

direct deposit, I still have my canadian account for my student loan.

Once they approved and resubmitted the hours it only took 2 business days to get to my CDN account - Easy Piesy!
