As of next month maternity leave in Canada will increase to 18 months from the current 12 months

 

The total payouts will not increase rather you have the option to stretch them out

 

However the Government plans to also increase other new family benefits which will offset lower payments should you choose to extend your leave by up to half a year!

This Government really wants people to pop out more babies...  

 

Not counting infrastructure most new spending increases have been on child payment benefits or other stuff related to parents with children

18 months? That's a lot. What's the catch though?

The catch is u have to spread out the payments after 12 months. U get the time off but the total benefit payouts at 18 months is the same as 12 months just spread out

 

But increased payments and new credits will largely offset this so... soon someone taking 18 months will get almost as much as someone who took 12 months up until now

 

those who choose not to extend beyond 12 months would still get the new credits and higher payments so theyd simply get an increased amount
