You have to work at least 4 months full time, I believe

And not just Moms. Dads are eligible to take some of the leave too. My job topped up my salary for the first while, and so did my DH's. So he stayed home with us for the first five weeks, which was when I needed him most!

The Canadian government mandates both a leave and a benefits component, thelatter being administered by provincial employment insurance plans. Depending on the length of employment history and the hours worked, new mothers can take between 17 and 52 weeks of leave from their jobs. Their employers are required to accept the employees back into their jobs, or the equivalent, at the end of the mandated leave at the same rate of pay with the same employment benefits.
On top of mandating maternity leave, the government offers paid leave for one or both parents through Canada's employment insurance plan. A pregnant employee or new mother can take a paid maternity leave of up to 15 weeks.

if i remember right you have to have a minimum 500hours banked to qualify and you also do not get 100% of your current wage, it's usually approx 55% of your current wage up to a set maximum, some companies offer "top up" but most do not

Yes. Between 55 and 60%- depends on the employer.
But not easy to live on it. The baby needs lots of stuff and some have to adjust their lifestyle.
If you have a pension or group retirement plan, you can't contribute when you are off on leave.
When you come back to work you can buy back your pension money or group retirement plan money. Buying back can be stressful too since some people don't have much extra to contribute.

Maternity leave is 15 weeks or mom and dad can share 35 weeks for a maximum of 50 weeks between both parents. You must have worked at least 600 hours before you take maternity leave so that's between 3 - 4 months of an 8 hour working day. Pay is capped at 55% of a maximum of $48,600 for 2014, which is $514 per week. On top of that, this amount is eligible to be taxed (and taxes are deducted before they give it to you), so you'll get $400-something per week for the maximum.
Also, there's a limit to how much money you can earn during that period before they claw back the same amount from your pay dollar-for-dollar. It's pretty strict.

I think it depends on your details. For example, your job, your salary and so on.

In Quebec you can choose Between 6months and 1 year. If you choose 1 year, you are paid 50% of the last yeay salary.

does anyone know how it works for brand new parents...can the father take ei-covered paternity leave right when the child is born or does is it the mother first? i'm wondering if the mother can use her vacation first while the father takes pat leave (in the event the father has no vacation left)
