How can I collect benefits from Employment Insurance Canada? I have been denied claims three times.?
This letter is to complain about service I received from Employment Insurance. In particular, I am claiming a full refund of EI premiums paid to the Government of Canada. Throughout my time of employment, I have received no compensation especially when I needed it most.
In 1993, I was laid off from Envirothermic Technologies Inc. Immediately, I applied for Employment Insurance. I received no compensation, even after following through with their complaint procedure. In 1995, I ran out of money and I was forced to separate from my wife and children. While working for Interstate Batteries, I had an accident with battery acid. My employer laid me off. Again I applied for Employment Insurance and received no compensation. In 1997, I ran out of money and went to stay at the Salvation Army Men’s Shelter. Nearby was an Employment Insurance office which I appealed to for compensation. Again no compensation was provided. Needless to say, I was quite frustrated.
I expected a much higher level of service from our Employment Insurance, and I am quite disappointed. Because I do not want to spend any more time on this problem, I expect a full refund of my EI premiums. I will be informing my friends and family about this experience.

You can inform everybody you want. Good for you.
Something tells me there's more to the story. Millions of people have been able to successfully collect on their employment insurance over the years, and if you haven't it's because you're doing something wrong.

While you may have been paying EI premiums through deductions from your pay cheque, you have also been using a credit for the amount you paid on your tax return each year, thus balancing the debit and credit angle each year.
As for qualifying for EI benefits, there are many rules in place to prevent people from fraudulently obtaining funds from the program. The process for EI is an easy one. You need to work the required number of hours, not received huge severance, and been laid off from any of your positions, you would have been able to receive EI benefits. Severance payments are deducted from your benefits, so a large severance package may reduce your benefits to zero. If you have been fired from your place of employment, or do not have the required number of hours worked, you get nothing.
EI only covers work related injuries while waiting for WCB (or your Provincial equivalent) to kick in. If no report was filed for WCB, you can't receive EI funds.
You will not be able to receive a refund of the EI premiums you have paid because the government has been providing you with the equivalent tax credit each year, so there is nothing to be refunded.
