On ServiceCanada's site, one of the requirements of employment insurance is to "actively search for and accept offers of suitable employment."

My dad was on employment insurance last year when his engineering company laid off several hundred employees. Individuals have to actively seek work and make themselves available to that work. That means you can't just say you're looking for a job and then reject any employment offers you get while you go to school, for example.
