Hi Kevin,
They are totally different relative pronouns.
Here is the Kwiziq lesson on the use of 'qui' -
and the lesson about ce qui / ce que -

Hope this helps!

Qui -- who, which, that
Ce qui -- what (subject form) but can also mean "which" when referring to an idea rather than something specific.
