Booking Coordinator

I was laid off a month ago on Aug 25th. I received a 2 weeks salary of severance payment plus 6 weeks lump sum, total 8 weeks. I started my EI application right after my termination, and I was told by Service Canada that my first payment will come after the 8 weeks. The first report started with weeks Aug 27 - Sep 9, next Sep 10 - Sep 23, and so on, since I’ll no be receiving any payment for those 8 weeks, my question is: Can I get out of the country during this time?
