  • Maternity Advantages in Canada

On-going financial security is a major trouble for those who are new in Canada as they begin their journey into parenthood. After your baby is born, both parents need to take off for some weeks or months. In many countries, a mother is considered the primary caregiver of a child and for a new father there are limited benefits, but Canada provides employment and financial benefits for both parents. The Canadian government’s EI maternity benefits are eligible for biological mothers only not for those mothers who adopt a child.

Some maternity advantages provided by the government of Canada that you should know abou:

  1. You are able to take a maximum of 15 weeks of maternity benefits that are starting 12 weeks before the expected due date and end up to 17 weeks after the date of birth of the child.
  2. Mother and father both are eligible to take maternity and paternity leave.
  3. You can take the benefits of weekly standard payment benefits which is 55% of your weekly insurable earrings.
  • Raising a child in Canada as a newcomer

It is difficult to care for a newborn baby without the help of family and friends for guidance and hands-on support. Some points are given below to raise your child if you are new in Canada.

  1. Try to find your parental ethnic group in Canada and make friends with new parents in your neighbourhood to find help and support.

  3. The Canadian government helps parents in raising the children with Canada child benefits.

When you decide to start a family, it’s a special time of your life that changes your life totally. It filled your life with adventure and joy. Many people who are newcomers face some challenges to raise their children in a new environment especially when their family and friends are not with them. By acquainting yourself with government assistance and familiarising yourself with the experiences of other newcomer parents who have already faced the same problem before you, you are able to navigate through your exciting journey of parenthood in Canada.
