The number of hours required to qualify for benefits is based on the unemployment rate of the region in which the claimant lives. HRDC relies on Statistics Canada’s Labour Force Survey and its “seasonally adjusted average unemployment rate”. Note that several features of the Labour Force survey make the official unemployment rate appear much lower than it actually is. The current rate of unemployment for each region can be found at: http://www.hrsdc.gc.ca/eng/employment/ei/economic_regions/index.shtml. | The number of hours required to qualify for benefits is based on the unemployment rate of the region in which the claimant lives.
