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.
Your leave can start as early as eight weeks before your baby is due. Maternity 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.o, in order to qualify for maternity leave benefits you really have to qualify for Employment insurance (EI).
