Thanks for that info. Ya, I don't need the figures for making 300K/yr. LOL
I've never used EI and I've been told for the last 10-15 years or so that the CPP coffers will be long gone by the time I'm ready to collect, so I don't rely on that for retirement and view it as an additional "tax" for which I will get nothing in return. Maybe I will be pleasantly surprised when I retire and receive a CPP cheque. We'll see. But I'm sure not counting on it.
CPP doesn't go into general revenue, so whoever is telling you that is grossly misinformed. What may be true is that CPP won't be enough for your lifestyle.
