Summary:
The claimant is a Canadian citizen who lives in the United States, but is not allowed to work in that country. She was denied her benefits because she failed to prove that she was available for work within the meaning of section 18 of the E.I. Act. The claimant’s husband was chosen to be a Canadian representative at the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. The Canadian Department of National Defence had signed an agreement with the American government stipulating that "IMSs or their alien family members are not permitted to seek or accept employment during their stay in the United States". The claimant’s appeal is dismissed by the Umpire.
