When exactly can someone get EIcollect Employment Insurance benefits (EI) in Canada?

When is a Canadian Citizen eligible for EI and likely to get it? To my understanding it depends on:

  • how much money they are making
  • if they have paid into EI from previous work
  • how they'retheir last job ended

The last point is the one that confuses me. For example: if someone just quits their job, I don't think they getcan collect EI. I think the government goes off of the reason specified in the RoE, isRecord of Employment (RoE). Is there an exhaustive list of reasons? For example: if I quit or my boss terminates me within my probation period, would I be eligible for EI?
