Ei Direct Deposit
On this page
To access these services in MSCA, you must sign in to MSCA and go to the EI page.
There is no one time that “most” deposits post. It all depends upon when the transaction arrives at the bank's computers and the bank's posting procedures. The Automated Clearinghouse (ACH) system runs 24 x 7 x 365. It knows no weekends or holiday. What Is Direct Deposit? Direct deposit is an electronic payment from one bank account to another. For example, money may move from an employer’s bank account to an employee’s bank account, although there are several other ways to use direct deposit.
Direct deposit is a way to receive your payments without any postal delay. Not only will you be able to access your payments more quickly, you can also be sure they will never be lost, stolen or damaged. Sign up for direct deposit now! It is convenient, secure and reliable. The Government of Canada is switching from cheques to direct deposit, an electronic transfer of funds deposited directly into your bank account. Direct deposit is faster, more convenient and more secure. Enrol for direct deposit or update the banking information you already have on file. Sign up or modify details for direct deposit.
Get your tax slip online
In MSCA, you can get your T4E online by selecting Tax slip mailing options. Do this before January 1 to receive this year's T4E online. This is an official document—print it and attach it to your income tax return.
T4Es are available online in MSCA the first week of February.
Paper tax slips are mailed by the end of February. Ensure that your mailing address is correct in MSCA.
Update your personal information
When you change your mailing address or direct deposit information using MSCA, it is updated right away.
Select Direct deposit to have your EI payments deposited into your bank account. You cannot update your direct deposit information in advance.
Select Mailing address and telephone number to change your address or phone number. You must let us know of any changes if you have received EI benefits in the past year. This prevents delays in receiving benefits. It also ensures you receive your T4E for your tax return.
You can provide your future address up to 180 days in advance. Select My future mailing address and telephone number information to enter your new information and effective date.
If you moved to a new province and your claim has been transferred, you must also update your province of residence by selecting Province of residence. This ensures that you always see your most recent EI claim information.
If your home address is different than your mailing address, call 1-800-206-7218 during business hours or visit a Service Canada Centre. It can’t be updated online.
