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.
