The Wage Earner Protection Program (WEPP) provides applicants with the right to request a review by the Minister of Labour if they are not satisfied with the eligibility decision made on their claim. There is no cost for requesting a review.
You have 30 days from the date of the decision to request a review, unless circumstances beyond your control prevent you from doing so. Your request should explain why you are requesting the review, and the reasons for any delay in filing, should that be the case.
Please fill out the Request for Review by Minister form, also available from any Service Canada Centre, and mail it to:
WEPP Processing Centre
P.O. Box 5900
Cornwall, ON
K6H 6J6
You may be contacted by an officer in the WEPP Review and Appeal office if additional information or clarification is needed.
You will be notified in writing of the review decision.
Although a decision taken after a review by the Minister of Labour is final, you may appeal the decision based on matters of law or jurisdiction.
