  1. If you expect to receive at least one of the following payments for your business from the Canada Revenue Agency, you can sign up for direct deposit: corporation income tax refund goods and services tax/harmonized sales tax refund refund of excise tax or other levies.
  2. Big sigh of relief today when my first EI payment came in. But I've been out of work since I was laid off on December 19, the bills have been piling up, savings are drained, Christmas was a thing, and my EI barely covers my half of the rent, let alone everything else.

There is no one time that “most” deposits post. It all depends upon when the transaction arrives at the bank's computers and the bank's posting procedures. The Automated Clearinghouse (ACH) system runs 24 x 7 x 365. It knows no weekends or holiday.

COVID-19

Change ei direct deposit

Due to the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak, there are changes to this program.

Changes to support you during COVID-19

Ei Direct Deposit

Temporary changes have been made to the EI program to help you access EI regular benefits. The following changes are in effect until September 25, 2021, and could apply to you:

  • the waiting period may be waived
  • a minimum unemployment rate of 13.1% applies to all regions across Canada
    • if your region’s unemployment rate is higher than 13.1%, we’ll use the higher actual rate to calculate your benefits
    • this means you can receive at least 26 weeks of regular benefits
  • you only need 120 insured hours to qualify for benefits because you’ll get a one-time credit of 300 insured hours to help you meet the required 420 insured hours of work
  • you’ll receive at least $500 per week before taxes but you could receive more
  • if you received the CERB, the 52-week period to accumulate insured hours will be extended

Sections on this page impacted by these temporary changes are flagged as Temporary COVID-19 relief.
