Most claimants taking a full-time course will be considered unavailable for work unless the Commission or an agency authorized by the Commission specifically referred the claimant to the program. Even if the course is part-time and improves the claimant’s chances of finding employment, the claimant may still be disentitled because they are considered unavailable for work. In these circumstances a claimant may attempt to prove availability, if the course does not interfere with the job search and they would immediately be able to accept an offer of employment. | Most claimants taking a full-time course will be considered unavailable for work unless the Commission or an agency authorized by the Commission specifically referred the claimant to the program.

According to s 25(2) of the ''EI Act'', a decision refusing to refer a claimant to a course is not reviewable under s 112. However, a claimant who takes a course without the Commission's approval can still appeal a finding that they are disentitled for not being available for work while taking the course. | According to s 25(2) of the ''EI Act'', a decision refusing to refer a claimant to a course is not reviewable under s 112.
