Summary:
The claimant was finished to work on August 13, 2010. He applied for benefits on April 27, 2011. On July 25, 2011, the claimant requested that the Commission antedate his claim to August 26, 2010. The claimant alleged that his delay in applying for benefits was because a Service Canada representative had told him that his ROE included some mistakes and that he had to submit a new ROE. The claimant also alleged that the Service Canada representative had not instructed him to apply for benefits immediately. The Commission denied the antedate because he had not shown good cause for his delay. The FCA found that it was open to the BOR to determine that the reasons given by the claimant for his delay in applying for benefits did not constitute good cause, and that the Umpire’s conclusion to uphold the BOR’s decision was reasonable.

Summary:
The claimant had not filed his report cards because he had been repeatedly told by the Commission that he did not qualify. He did not enquire further until his banker suggested that he should do so. The Umpire stated that reliance by the claimant on information provided by the Commission can constitute good cause for a delay in applying for benefits.

Summary:
Claimant discharged 27-4-93 and filed on 22-3-94. Reasons for delaying: 1) he had filed a grievance which eventually was arbitrated and 2) he was told by a Commission employee that he would not be eligible to receive benefits because he had been dismissed from his job for cause. Quoting Albrecht (A-172-85), the umpire held that the claimant had not done what a reasonable person in his situation would have done to satisfy himself as to his rights and obligations under the Act. The FCA was of the view that the umpire had properly applied the legal test and dimissed the claimant's application for judicial review.

Summary:
On unpaid leave from June 89 to September 90. The fact that the respondent may have obtained false information from the Commission in May 1990 cannot help her case since it would not justify the delay prior to receiving this inaccurate information.

Summary:
If a claimant is to make out a case based upon representations made by a representative of the CEIC, the onus is on the claimant to provide specific and detailed information so that the CEIC has an opportunity to investigate the matter. Vague references to a conversation are insufficient.

Summary:
Earnings allocated until 20-6-90. Notice states "When this situation ends you may apply again". It is incomprehensible why one is not advised that there might be some time limit as to when to apply if he wanted to obtain maximum benefit. The situation should have been explained.

Summary:
In a case such as this, where the officer in question can be readily identified, it is not sufficient for the CEIC to support its case with the kind of third hand information that was put before the Board in this case on a critical point as to whether claimant had been misled.
It has been held that incorrect advice from a CEIC agent may well provide good cause if it was reasonable for claimant to believe the CEIC officer. Very important therefore that Boards pay very close attention to the nature of proof submitted concerningstatements by officers.

Summary:
Claimant's delay in filing her report card was with good cause. She acted reasonably by relying on a CEIC brochure according to which delay in filing report cards would result in delay of payment, nothing being said about possible denial of payment.

Summary:
The misinformation came from the CEIC itself and not from a third party. This situation can certainly be regarded as good cause since the cause itself is imputable to the CEIC's inefficiency rather than to claimant's negligence. He should not have to bear the CEIC's blunder.
