In 1997, the Government of Canada changed the name of the program from Unemployment Insurance to Employment Insurance. We use the two terms interchangeably, although we prefer the old name as, in our view, it better reflects the program’s purpose of providing income support during periods of unemployment.
Statistics Canada releases the results of its Labour Force Survey on the first Friday of every month. This survey provides monthly statistics of employment and unemployment in Canada, including the current unemployment rate. Click here to access the latest release.
Each year the Canada Employment and Insurance Commission is required under the EI Act to monitor and assess the impact of the legislation and program delivery. Once completed, the Minister of Human Resources and Social Development tables the Monitoring and Assessment report in Parliament. To view copies of these reports click here.
