But,  this doesn't really answer my question.  As far as I can tell,  there
is no discrimination for foreign students,  over domestic students,  when
it comes to collecting UI.  Anyone that is a full-time student,  if they
earn any money,  has to pay into UIC.  However,  none can collect from it.
I pay UI,  but am not eligible to collect.  

If may be easier for Canadians to cheat the system,  but that is not the
issue.  What I'd like to know is:
	If someone is working here on a work visa and loses their job,  are
they eligible to collect UI?

Note:  I may be wrong about my understanding of students and UI,  but I
have always been under the impression that full-time students cannot
collect UI.
