So long and thanks for all the fish.

Well, that's it then. I've just found out I've been laid-off, or not-continued, or whatever.

Time to look for a new job.

Its more like 26 weeks you need, not 12.

Hmm. I'm just used to the Newfoundland fish industry, where it's pretty universally 12 weeks. I didn't realize how much it varied. According to this government webpage for my postal code it's only 595 insurable hours, which is about 15 weeks; irritatingly close to 12 weeks but not quite.

15 weeks is still a fair bit less than I expected. When I looked it up in January, I could have sworn it was something like 6-months before it kicked in. So, if I can get 3 more weeks of work somewhere, I could go on EI... I suppose thats something.

Make sure to double-check against your postal code, as I believe my census area doesn't include DDO.

There are probably other caveats related to your particular situation, with which I am not sufficiently familiar to guess the end result, but it certainly warrants some investigation.

Already did that. The site you mentioned said 595 hours for my postal code too.
