Should I stay on EI

Living in Ontario Canada. Was fired from my job last year and qualified for EI, approved from July 2021 thru to July 2022. I have been continually looking for a new job but haven’t landed one yet, and a lot of places don’t even pay what I’m being paid on EI. Is there any drawback to staying on EI for the entire approved year? I imagine I may end up owing on my income tax but not sure. This has worked well for me in that it allows me to care for sick family member. I also hate the idea of going back to shitty work for a shitty boss with a shitty commute, for less money than I’m being paid to stay home.
