Will my periods of paid unemployment be counted toward my pension entitlement once my unemployment benefit entitlements run out?

Yes, all periods that have been credited to your account will be counted toward the 20 years you need in order to qualify for a pension with no rate reduction once you have used up your unemployment benefit entitlements.

The following additional requirements must also be met:

You must have been laid off for business-based reasons (or have left through a voluntary departure-job preservation plan).
You must have drawn benefits based on the termination of an air crew employment contract on which CRPN contributions were paid,
And be at least 50 years old on the date your unemployment benefits run out.
