The way I interpreted it, was that you can leave when you are about 25 weeks pregnant. I think you get something like 15 or 17 weeks pregnancy leave, and then 35 weeks maternity leave. If you save them up, though, you get almost a full year with baby.
In most provinces, you can apply for maternity leave up to eight weeks before your baby is due. Some provinces allow you to start maternity leave as early as 11 weeks before your due date.Check with your province's ministry of labour if you are interested in going on mat leave early.aternity leave can run as long as 17 weeks after your baby's born. Some provinces offer different numbers of weeks for maternity leave. You can find your province's amount on our chart of maternity leave by province.
