If the employer were to agree to lay them off they should be eligible for EI. Since the OP isn’t getting paid right now, and it sounds like that might not change for the forceable future if ever, it might be something worth exploring. That way the OP can look for work while getting at least some money coming in. Personally I would be making a complaint to employment standards about not being paid, worse case scenario the employer doesn’t have the money to pay you and it changes very little but best case scenario they pay you the money to avoid the headache of dealing with the complaint.
As others have mentioned if the company goes bankrupt you’re going to be low on the list of who gets paid.
