Can I sue employment canada, EI, and how do I go about it?

Question by concerned: Can I sue employment canada, EI, and how do I go about it?
In August of 2007, I was laid off my job and I immediatly applied for college to start in September. I contacted EI regarding their career retraining program, and they advised me that the application process was long and lenghly, and if I had already applied for OSAP I should just go that way and apply for benefits as a student. So I did that and I was approved. They knew I was in a two year program, a program that I was to find out later is always approved under their guidelines, and they paid me the whole first year. Well then I find out that my friend is going through VPI to go to the same program, because she has been on EI in the last three years, they are going to pay for the whole thing and give her money for the whole two years. I have since completed my program, and I called EI and they are telling me its not retro active. How is this fair when they knew that I was student and should have given me the money anyway. Now I am 26,000, dollars in debt and I think they should pay my loan from OSAP. What do I do?
I was not told NO! I wasnt given the correct information when I went to school, it is a six week process not a six month one. The man I spoke to never told me to go to the unemployment office and speak with a counselor, I was never given that option. They knew I was a student and they should have helped me anyway.
Ei is Employment Canada..they are a canadain agency that provide money for people who have been laid off, fired, or quit their jobs…

To the second person, editor, this isnt a changed legislation, it has been more easier to get it though since all the lay offs. The point is, is that I was misinformed they should have given me more information and I would have at least went through for it for my second year in college. I will go to the MP though, I spoke to EI today for the third time and that is what she advised me to do!!

What you think doesn’t matter. You were told no. You cannot sue because you disagree with already established policy.
