Summary:
The Commission rejected the application of the claimant who was taking a police training course at the Institut de Police du Québec in Nicolet, where she was required to reside for the duration of the program. The Umpire referred to a Court decision that affirms that a claimant who takes a full time course, to which the claimant has not been referred, is presumed to be unavailable for work and that seeking evening and weekend employment did not constitute an exceptional circumstance sufficient to rebut this presumption. Therefore, the Judge upholds the Commission's decision and sets aside the decision of the Board of Referees.
