If I move to the US / Texas and have my family in Ontario I will pay taxes in both countries.I first pay the taxes in the US and Canada will consider the same income and tax me the difference.This is the case if my family lives in Toronto and I own a home in Toronto.

If I loose my job in TX am I eligible for EI in Ontario?

Actually as far as i remember there are some reciprocal arrangements between usa and canada so that if u get laid off in one country u can get ur EI in another.

This is something similar to the province to province EI rules, where moving out of Ontario to another province does not stop ur ei.

U will need to go through these documents to understand the nitty gritty

You can call ur local ei office and they will give u the details.

Who can apply
Canada EI benefits may be paid to you when you reside outside Canada in the following situations:

your last employment was in Canada, but you now reside in United States;
your permanent residence is in a country other than Canada and the United States and you are applying for maternity, parental or compassionate care benefits;
you are a commuter – a resident of Canada or the United States (U.S.) who regurlarly crosses the Canada/U.S. border between their residence and workplace.
American Unemployment Insurance benefits may be paid to you if your last employment was in the United States and you now reside in Canada. If you also had previous employment in Canada, you may be able to file a claim for Canadian EI benefits instead. You may be able to receive benefits from either Canada or the United States but not both at the same time.

How to file a claim for American Unemployment Insurance benefits
To file a claim for American Unemployment Insurance benefits, you must contact the Telephone Information Service or go to your Service Canada Centre, you will be asked to give your name, address, phone number, Social Insurance Number (SIN) and Social Security Number (SSN) along with the name of the State from which you want to claim benefits. Depending on the State in which you last worked you may be able to file a claim directly with the State via the Internet or by phone. If the State does not accept claims via the Internet or by phone, information will be forwarded to a designated office responsible for handling such claims based on where you reside in Canada. You may also contact the designated Service Canada Centre directly.

You must provide proof that your employment in the United States was authorized as per American immigration regulations and that you are available for and actively seeking work in Canada. If you are not a Canadian resident you will be asked for proof that you are authorized to work in Canada.



How to file a claim for Canadian EI benefits for people residing outside Canada
You may file your claim for Canadian EI benefits online.

If you are residing in the United States and claiming regular benefits you must be available and actively seeking work and, most importantly, you must provide proof that you are legally authorized to work in the United States. You will also need to submit your Record of Employment from your Canadian employer.

If your employers issue ROEs in paper format, you will need to submit your ROEs from all your Canadian employers who issued ROEs in paper format in the last 52 weeks. However, if your employer submits your ROE to Service Canada electronically, you do not need to submit a copy of your ROE to Service Canada, since we will have received it from your employer. On the same day your employer submits it, you will be able to view and print copies of your ROE online using My Service Canada Account

If you are residing outside Canada in a country other than the United States, you may be eligible for maternity, parental or compassionate care benefits only. Regular benefits are not payable to a person residing in a country other than Canada or the United States.

Residents of the United States
Regular benefits:

If you are living in the United States, Regular benefits can be paid to you up to a maximum of 36 weeks. The number of weeks payable is based on the number of insurable hours that you have accumulated in Canada during the last 52 weeks or since your last claim.

To be eligible for regular benefits you must show that you:

have worked in a job that is insured under Canada’s EI Program; and
in the last 52 weeks or since your last claim, you have worked between 420 and 700 hours.
In some instances, a minimum of 910 hours may be required to qualify. For example:
- if you are in the work force for the first time;
- if you are re-entering the work force after an absence of two years. However, if you have received at least one week of maternity or parental benefits in the 208 weeks preceding the 52-week period prior to the qualifying period, you will require between 420 and 700 hours to qualify for regular benefits. For more information, please call the toll-free number 1 800 206-7218;
You must also provide proof that you are legally authorized to work in the United States.
The number of hours required is based on the regional rate of unemployment in the economic region where you last worked in Canada.
