voluntarily leaving employment  personal reasons  Study for an exam 

Summary:

The Federal Court of Appeal and umpires have consistently held that one who leaves an employment to pursue further education or to upgrade his work qualifications does not have just cause to leave. By analogy one who leaves or takes leave from an employment to study for an examination does not have just cause. That was so with an immigrant veterinarian in CUB 65721. See also CUB 67651A in regard to a claimant who left his employment to take a qualying examination to practise the profession of medical doctor in Canada.
