Employment Insurance, October2016
Released at 8:30 a.m. Eastern time in The Daily, Tuesday, December 20, 2016
In October,575,200people received regular Employment Insurance (EI) benefits, little changed (+2,700or +0.5%)
from the previous month.
The number of EI beneficiaries increased in five provinces, notably Saskatchewan (+6.0%), Alberta (+3.0%) and
British Columbia (+2.1%), but also Newfoundland and Labrador (+1.9%) and Nova Scotia (+1.9%). On the other
hand, the number of beneficiaries declined by1.8% in Quebec.
Compared with12months earlier, the number of beneficiaries in Canada was up31,400(+5.8%).
In general, changes in the number of regular EI beneficiaries reflect various situations, including people becoming
beneficiaries, going back to work, or no longer receiving regular benefits. In addition, part of the year-over-year
increase could be related to EI policy changes that came into effect in July2016. More information on the 2016EI
changes is available on the Employment and Social Development Canada website.

Note to readers
Concepts and methodology
Employment Insurance (EI) statistics are produced from administrative data sources provided by Service Canada and Employment and
Social Development Canada. These statistics may, from time to time, be affected by changes to the Employment Insurance Act or
administrative procedures. The most recent series of changes were introduced in July2016.
Regular Employment Insurance (EI) benefits are available to eligible individuals who lose their jobs and who are available for and able to
work, but cannot find a job. To receive EI benefits, individuals must first submit a claim. The number of claims provides an indication of
the number of people who could become beneficiaries.
There is always a certain proportion of unemployed people who do not qualify for benefits. Some unemployed people have not
contributed to the program because they have not worked in the past12months or their employment is not insured. Other unemployed
people have contributed to the program but do not meet the eligibility criteria, such as workers who left their job voluntarily or those who
did not accumulate enough hours of work to receive benefits.
All data in this release are seasonally adjusted. For more information on seasonal adjustment, see Seasonally adjusted data Frequently
asked questions.
Numbers in the Daily text are rounded to the nearest hundred.
The number of regular EI beneficiaries and the number of claims received for the current and previous month are subject to revision.
The number of beneficiaries is a measure of all people who received EI benefits from October9to15. This period coincides with the
reference week of the Labour Force Survey (LFS). However, initial and renewal claims data are for the entire month.
EI statistics indicate the number of people who received EI benefits, and should not be confused with LFS data, which provide information
on the total number of unemployed people.
Geographical definitions

population centre. A CMA must have a total population of at least100,000. A CA must have a population of at least10,000. See Standard
Geographical Classification2011 Definitions for more information.
