EI End Date Of Claim / Weeks of Entitlement: Ontario Canada?

• I'm a little confused regarding my current EI claim (I'm in Ontario, Canada)., hoping someone else who has been on EI or has been in the past can answer my question. When I open my online account info, it says my Weeks Of Entitlement is 50 weeks. The info states that this is the amount of weeks I will be paid for. But when I read further in the End of Claim section, it says my claim will end either when my weeks of entitlement are reached, or "a maximum of 45 weeks", whichever comes first. If I've been given 50 weeks of entitlement, how can the maximim be 45 weeks? Sorry if this has been confusing, but I'm hoping others currently collecting their EI can be of some help. Thanks!

• Answer:

  Go the nearest Service Canada office in your hometown in Ontario, and ask them directly. Also, on your online account there should be a telephone number for inquiries. Call that number, and ask them directly.
