Use the official service

Start from Canada.ca, review the information required and complete the government application. roe.help does not receive the application.

Do not delay

Current official guidance warns that applying more than four weeks after the last day of work may cause a loss of benefits.

Example

begin the application and provide or resolve an outstanding ROE through the official process afterward.

Boundary or exception

Applying does not guarantee eligibility or a benefit amount; Service Canada decides.
