Hi,

I'm working on a contract(IT project) on an ongoing basis through a recruiter. Since I'm not incorporated I'm on the recruiter's payroll, and EI, CPP and CIT are deducted from my salary.

Does that mean that if my contract ends and if I cant find another contract, I can apply for EI benifits?

Thanks

Yes, you are ... As you said you are on Payroll, you must be getting T4 as well after all the deductions - so you are eligible for EI.

If your current contract ends, you still are on payroll but on bench (I dont know what the terms are on contract).

I am full time employee of IT company. EI deducts from my pay cheque.

I've registerd business but I am not working for business from last 1 year [since I moved to my current city]

Registered business will create any problem to get EI benefits?

Also, I am thinking to close my business. What action should be taken to close my business?

Thanks
