Did you know that in 2016 and 2017, π΄π±% of Canadian parental benefit claims are made by women
In order to combat this, on March 17, 2019, the federal government introduced a new π±-ππ²π²πΈ parental sharing benefit (independent of the 15-week maternity benefit) aimed at non-birth parents.
This leave is available to all working parents who qualify for EI benefits and have worked a minimum of 600 hours in the previous year.
The same terms as the standard leave at 55% of earnings for the year long parental leave applies. The difference is that an additional 5 weeks has been added for the second parent to claim.
