Social assistance is NOT prorated and there are thousands and thousands living outside of Canada abusing this taxpayer's expense. You do not have to purchases health insurance....what are you talking about.....you need to do a lot more homework on what you can and can not get while out of the country.  EI cards are done online......wake up Liberal.....we are being abused left right and center by those that come to Canadian, get Canadian citizenship....only to screw us over.
