Your student loan eligibility will be dependent on your income and assets. I am guessing that because you mentioned a mortgage that you own property...this will affect whether or not you are approved.
Student loans are pretty anal. I remember applying years ago and my application was rejected because I owned a car.
I would suggest you talk to your bank and consider a bank student loan/student line of credit or take an equity loan depending on your interest rate (Canada Student Loan interest rates are about 6%).
As for EI while at school...I don't know much about it, but I am pretty sure this would only be applicable to those who have been laid off dude to an industry short fall and the gov't has offered a specific aid program. Ex: Lumber mill in a small town is shut down...gov't has offered aid to re-train employees for a different sector, etc. If you are choosing to quit your job (and you own property) to go to school, you wouldn't even be close to having the gov't step in to support you.
The best thing for you to do is book an appointment with financial aid at your school or your bank.
