Add Comment Question: Dismissal allowed me to be eligible for EI? Answer: I am not sure what you are asking exactly. You are entitled to EI and severance, unless you were let go for "cause". Cause is VERY difficult for the company to establish. Therefore, unless you did something awful, you likely get both severance and EI. Please give me a call to discuss your matter specifically.
