The OSEB Program is one of the most unique self-employment programs in the world today. Successful applicants experience intensive business skills development training while completing a comprehensive business plan that fully supports their business idea.

You may be eligible if you have a business idea and are:

• Currently collecting Employment Insurance (EI) benefits
• Unemployed and have received EI benefits within the last 36 months
• Unemployed and received maternity/paternity leave EI benefits that started within the last 60 months, withdrew from the workforce, and are seeking to re-enter the labour force
