Canada EI Caregiving Benefits

EI caregiving benefits provide financial assistance while you’re away from work to care for or support a critically ill or injured person or someone needing end-of-life care. You could receive 55% of your earnings, up to a maximum of $638 a week.

As a caregiver, you don’t have to be related to or live with the person you care for or support, but they must consider you to be like a family member.
