“In 🇨🇦 we get up to 18 months of maternity leave!” Nope. It’s 15 weeks guaranteed, application for standard and extended benefits which are shared between spouses. Max benefits for the first 40 weeks capped at 55% of salary up to $688 per week (meaning if you make more than $63k per year it’s going to be a much smaller percentage) and beyond 40 weeks it’s capped at 33% or $401/week. Taking full benefits for 18 months would get you max $42K, maybe, and that’s split between spouses CanadaThreads
