I was laid off this week from my job in Canada, and I'm feeling a bit lost about what to do next. I received the notice today, and I'm looking for advice on how to navigate this situation. Specifically, I'm unsure about when to apply for Employment Insurance (EI) — should I do it on the day I got the notice or wait until my last day of work? Additionally, I'm considering whether I can contribute to my RRSP to help reduce taxes on my severance pay. I've heard there's a temporary measure allowing people to collect EI and severance simultaneously until October, so I want to make sure I get my Record of Employment (ROE) as soon as possible. Any tips or insights would be greatly appreciated!
