Replying to EI Regional Info

alright, so I plant trees in the spring, and I'm tired of working during the winter (granted, I've only actually worked threw one winter, and it was a night time job - but that's not the point) so I'm interested in applying for EI.

now it seams like a bunch of planters have no real problem getting EI, but it seams too good to be true. And I know that the amount of hours required is different in every region, does anybody know how many hours are required to apply in the lower mainland... and how big of an area does regional mean? (like I mean, is vancouver a different region than burnaby, and if not, is the GVA a different region than whistler.... maybe by county (like squamish-lilloette county is one, and therefor vancouver would be different than burnaby)

anyways... If anyone knows the answer to those two questions than it would help me out... thanks.
