As far as the question as to what EI is good for, a lot of Canadians would like the answer to that one.
However, it is supposed to provide assistance to you in the event that you lose your employment after the qualifying time to give you time to find new employment.
The year starts when you are hired.
The best place to find answers would be either your employer or a local employment office.
Good luck.
