I'm not sure about EI implications, but I can speak to this scenario from experience.
After I graduated from university, I wanted to move from New Brunswick to Calgary. I checked the online job postings for Calgary-based positions every day. I sent my CV and cover letter to dozens of companies who had an open entry-level position for which I was qualified. I specifically mentioned that I would personally cover all moving expenses and did not expect a relocation allowance from any company that hired me. I didn't get a single response.
After about a month of fruitless remote job-searching, my father decided to buy me a 1-way plane ticket to Calgary and loan me $5,000 to get started. Once I was settled here and had a local address and phone number, I started getting interviews and had a job within a few weeks.
