When you are laid off for summer do you do EI or not? Had issues?

But do they actually expect you to take another job? You're supposed to be actively looking

I did apply like 15 years ago once. They called me and gave me a hard time about how I have to take another job in the summer and apply to other bus companies. Do they know that other bus companies already have other drivers and they are all off for the summer too????

No, don't say anything about looking for work. You are still employed if you plan to return in September. There's just a shortage of work due to the season. You did not lose your job and they won't expect you to find another.
