Default Minimum Salary according to EI ?

Maybe a silly question but here goes: Is there some minimum salary below which you can refuse work without EI problems ? Is there some official percentage of your previous salary below you can refuse work? Or do you have to take any job for which you are qualified and for which you receive an offer?

It is a personal choice what job to take or not to take.

There is an example what the minimum wage by province is:

Alberta $8.40
BC $8.00
Manitoba $8.50
New Brunswick $7.75
Newfoundland $8.50
NWT $8.25
Nova Scotia $8.10
Nunavut $10.00
Ontario $8.75
PEI $8.00
Quebec $8.50
Saskatchewan $8.60
Yukon $8.58

In what province do you reside?

I'm not talking about minimum wage. I'm talking about turning down a position in your field because the pay is much lower than a previous salary earned in the same field.
