1.3 Million  Canadians jumped over to the new EI program

The numbers don't lie, and it's a big one.

According to The Canadian Press, they have gone from the fear of 87,000 applications in one day overwhelming the federal systems back in March to now handling well over 240,000 daily claims in October.

Figures also obtained by the news organization, shows that 84% of applications have already been processed and are ready to go, a good sign during a nerve ending transition for many Canadians.

The government says it's ready for more, as they expect four million people to use EI and the three other benefits if they're not eligible for EI.
