To be eligible, claimants of EI sickness benefits need to demonstrate that:
they are unable to work for medical reasons;
their regular weekly earnings from work have decreased by more than 40% for at least one week;
they accumulated at least 600 insured hours of work in the 52 weeks before the start of their claim or since the start of their last claim, whichever is shorter; and
if it weren’t for their medical condition, they would otherwise be available for work.
Claimants also need to get a medical certificate signed by a medical practitioner when they apply for sickness benefits. The medical practitioner must practise in Canada or the United States and the illness they’re treating must be in their field. The following medical practitioners can complete and sign the claimant’s medical certificate:
medical doctor;
chiropractor;
optometrist;
psychologist;
dentist;
midwife (except Prince Edward Island);
nurse practitioner; and,
registered nurse (in isolated areas when a doctor is unavailable).

仕事はやめなくても良いと思います。うちの主人も病気で現在の仕事には今後復帰できないのですが、辞めずにそのまま在籍して、会社のshort term disability benefitsを受給しています。その後long term disability benefitsに移行する予定です。トピ主さんの会社のbenefits内容にもよりますが。。
ただ、disability benefitsを会社から受け取ているからと言ってレイオフの対象外ではないですけどね。
一度職場のHRとかに相談されたらいかがでしょうか?
私も色々主人のことで調べたことがありますが、もし主人が仕事を辞めていたら
EI sick benefits⇒ CPP short term disability benefits ⇒CPP long term disability benefitsへと段階的に申請していくと思いました。
