I must admit I am surprised to hear about this and would like to review it further. Once the agreement has been approved, employment insurance applications are made which are processed in accordance with EI program criteria. So, once an agreement has been accepted, these applications are processed exactly the same way as the other ones are. If you are referring to a particular case, I would like to review it myself, if you don't mind, because these applications are processed the same way as other employment insurance applications.
