Summary:
The claimant was an immigrant and had a study permit. The claimant quit her job because she was taking a financial planning course. Her work permit expired as of August 31, 2007. She advised her employer that she was returning to school. The jurisprudence has shown that a person who voluntarily leaves their employment must show that they had just cause as the burden is on them unless they can show that they had no reasonable alternative and they must also show that they have availability while attending the course. On the issue of availability, it is clear that the claimant when taking a full time course of study is not available for work unless she shows that she complies with s. 18 of the Act. The Commission's appeal is allowed.
