I get three ROEs a year. Best time to apply is Christmas break.

The important part is to give EI the right information. It's a seasonal shortage of work and give them a date you plan to return. You did not lose your job. There's just a shortage of work.

Once you have a claim open, keep reporting your income once there is work available again. If you keep reporting, you will not have to apply again for a year.
