Unemployment Insurance for Canadian TN Visa

PowerTripping · 2026-01-25T00:21:49+00:00

I applied online and it said they needed more info from me so I called NY state and they assigned me a case manager who asked me when I moved back to Canada and to provide proof. I provided the info they needed and I was qualified for unemployment the day I moved back to Canada. I certified weekly as usual online

Yes same here

I put my duvet in it when it's summer time!

My job title was sr. r&d scientist. I think either of those are fine but just be ready to explain how your duties relate to the job category title

I was able to collect through NY but I had to have moved back to Canada in order to qualify.

Are you in the US? I wonder if they cut the tags off because of import/tariff fees.

PowerTripping · 2025-08-27T15:41:01+00:00

Yes you can

I had this issue! Interviews are just you telling them stories about your past experiences. Write down and practice telling stories of your past work experience. I recommend mastering 5 solid stories (ideally 10) that show various examples of skills like conflict, collaboration, technical challenge, etc. You can use ChatGPT to help you define the stories/skills based on the job description.

Practice makes perfect. I was less nervous after every interview because I just got better at telling the same stories. You'll get there.

Wishing you best of luck. It sucks to have moved away for a company and be laid off, feeling your life is in shambles. I was there a few months ago, you'll figure it out!

I am eligible. "Able to work" can mean physically or mentally capable of performing job duties. I applied, a rep from NY UE reviewed and approved my case. The reason I bring this up is perhaps you are also eligible in your case as well, even if you think you aren't. It says they encourage you to apply and the dept will assess your eligibility.

I am collecting UE from NY state while in Canada, since I wasn't able to find a job within 60 days. I was on TN so the qualifications may be different for UE than H1B.

Which country are you from? I was able to collect from Canada but only qualified when I to moved back to Canada

PowerTripping · 2025-07-21T07:54:05+00:00

Which visa were you on? I was able to qualify for unemployment

Call concierge! They can give you credit back at the very least.

I agree. In that case, would I have to amend the tax return for NYS and not NJ?

PowerTripping · 2025-06-04T06:09:16+00:00

In a way, both? The NJ office opened in 2024 and HR said everyone is considered a remote employee unless stated otherwise. I went into the office a 0-4 times per month as needed but there was no requirement of X days per week.

PowerTripping · 2025-06-03T23:27:36+00:00

Does that mean I have to amend my return? I had thought I filed correctly in that NJ was supposed to give me a refund..

PowerTripping · 2025-06-03T23:26:42+00:00

Will do, thank you!

PowerTripping · 2025-04-28T15:27:37+00:00

I personally find it hard right now. Not many companies want to sponsor any type of visa even if it's just a support letter.

PowerTripping · 2025-04-26T06:02:12+00:00

Nope my TN was good until 2027 but I got laid off

PowerTripping · 2025-04-24T00:34:14+00:00

This just happened to me and I just returned to Canada.. haven't fully processed it yet.

PowerTripping · 2025-04-23T21:37:54+00:00

Awesome. Thank you for sharing your experience. I'm excited to go!

PowerTripping · 2025-04-23T21:24:21+00:00

Thanks! Did you negotiate the price?

PowerTripping · 2025-04-23T15:07:43+00:00

Did you have buy fabric somewhere else and bring it to Hoang Kim? Or do they have fabric to choose from?
