Your EI will be suspended during the new contract period. After that it will
be reinstated, and you may continue to receive the left months of EI.
For example, assuming you had 10 months of EI at the beginning, and
you have already got 2 months of EI, then you will have 8 months of EI
after the contract. Another situation is, if you get vacation pay after collecting EI,
then it's like you obtain a contract of same number of the vacation days.
