In T-Giorgis v. Canada (Attorney General) (Fed CA, 2024) the Federal Court of Appeal dismisses a judicial review of "a decision of the Appeal Division of the Social Security Tribunal" regarding EI.
Here the court comments on 'approved' educational programs that still allow a person to collect EI:
[22] Under paragraph 25(1)(a) of the EIA, as it now reads and as it read at the relevant time, a claimant is considered unemployed and capable of and available for work during a period when they are attending a course of instruction or training program to which they were referred by the Commission or a designated authority. In other words, a claimant who is referred by the Commission does not need to prove availability.
