Definitely continue to provide this kind of content. It's invaluable

I just became a PR! I would absolutely LOVE more videos like this. I liked your layout. Thank you

Can someone in Canada call the US Congress and tell them about this. The US only gives lip service to family values. This would help families so much and reduce the stress of transitions to parenthood. I would move to Canada but it's too cold. 🎉🎉🎉🎉😂

As someone from the UK, I'm pretty interested in how Canadian systems work. I'd love to see more of these kinds of videos, they're very insightful and you make it concise

Omg thank you for making such a comprehensive video!

Very well laid out and explained. My wife is due in a few months, so I will definitely be watching this again multiple times. Thank you for your help!

Incredibly helpful video. Thank you for this!

This was so helpful, you made it so easy to understand and answered all the questions I had!

That was so informative thank you Justin.👍

Super informative. More of these videos pls.

This was so helpful !!!! Thank you ❤

Thank you for this Video! Very Informative specially for the ones planning to migrate and such.

Great video. Would definitely be interested in watching other videos related to the topics you mentioned.

Thank you and very informative.

Very informative thanks!

That is so neat they would never do that in the US

Thanks for crystal clear explanation

Thank you!

I wish US would do this. Thank you for sharing. God bless your channel.

In the US(WA state) we have family paid leave that both employees and employers pay in for up to 12 weeks of leave.and if you combine that with your medical leave you could get up to 18 weeks. That is max of 1400/week if you are a high earner. 7:00

Very interesting.

I love Canada!!

They should have this in America

My daughter had 5 weeks maternity leave and so I had to take care of my granddaughter from that age on up. My daughter worked five minutes away but she was often driving her clients in other cities and in a different state but whenever she could, she would stop in to hold and feed her daughter. But as time went on, her clients (she's a Social Worker) and job required more responsibilities so she would drop her off and pick her up sometimes late in the evening if her ex husband wasn't picking her up. At 2, they put her in an private Two Year old preschool. I watched her on weekends, holidays and the summer. At 3, she was put in a different private Three Year old preschool. And the same, I watch her weekends, holidays and the summer. Now at 4, it's summer so I watch her during the week and some weekends but my daughter drops her off at 3:30 am and she's with me until around 6 pm. I don't watch her every day during the week or weekends but that will change in the fall when she goes back to her private school for Four Year olds preschool. My daughter is now a licensed Substance Abuse Counselor and still works at the other job as a Social Worker. So I'm the support for both parents to be able to work at their jobs. It'll be like that for many years to come.

This is awesome, thank you so much! I've watched so many videos and still didn't understand all of the elements, until I watched yours. This was very helpful. One thing I wasn't clear on though, was if a father and mother can take leave on the same dates. Like say, if we took short parental leave, and I (the father) took my leave from July 1st to July 31st. Is my partner allowed to be on leave at the same time, and we both collect benefits from July 1st to July 31st?

Wow we get 3 months here in PA

I hope you, your beautiful wife and your children are all doing well!

You are so lucky to have these benefits. The US does not pay us for anything. We have to use sick leave for 6 weeks after that they want you back at work.

Hi! New subscriber here! Hopefully you can help with this question :) I was born and raised in Canada, moved to Mexico as a child and am now planning to move back. As a single mom, is my daughter born out of the county entitled to a citizenship? And am I entitled to any child care benefits? Thank you for this video, it's really helped me!

30 yrs ago my job laughed at me we I asked for maternity leave. Yep, US of great A

Would you happen to know what Supporting Documents are required to prove the child's birth? Does Service Canada require you to submit a birth certificate? Or a passport? OR both? If my husband was on parental leave and we chose to birth in another country, would Service Canada accept a Mexican birth certificate and the new Baby's Canadian Passport? Or do you have to give birth in Canada in order to collect your parental Leave/EI benefits? Thanks so much if you happen to know the answer!

And this makes USA a huge JOKE! The slight mention of more leave for parents, is a resounding laughter. 6-8 weeks depending on what type of birth. Shall I say I’m super happy that y’all can enjoy and be with your children as you should.❤ Great job Justin 👍🏽👍🏽

Hi Justin, can you please give me a gov link that says the dad can take 5 weeks paternity leave. My husband's work place is not honoring his request for 5 weeks of paternity leave.

Does it work the same in Quebec?

Hi does it matter if the child is born outside of Canada? I couldn’t find any info related to this aspect. Thanks

👍

Hi im planning to take parental leave 3 months after my wife gave birth, and my bi-weekly is atleast 1,300 (net income atleast 1k minus the tax “give or take”) our family annual is under 50k and i have more than 600hrs on my EI how much do you think my parental leave? Is it weekly or bi-weekly? Thanks

At what time I can take my paternity leave? I'm working for 2 years in Canada. My wife does not.

Are seak leaves weeks count ase maternity leave week?

Am I still viable for parental leave EI if my child is overseas??

This was very interesting. Curious, do marital status come into play in regards to if the father can receive paternity leave benefits?

Correction: in Canada paternal leave is not only for fathers , but for other parents too that can be mothers too(in case of 2 mothers family). So it’s better to say “other not birthing parent” considering you in Canada

This is awesome, but I wonder how this affects businesses when they lose an employee for over a year? I'm in the US and my oldest was born 40 years ago. My employer provided 6 weeks of paid leave. I took an additional 6 weeks without pay. Returning back to work was one of the hardest things I've ever done.

Are you entitled to salary raises while on parental leave? My company gives a raise across the board every year, but after 24 month I came back from parental leave and my salary is the same as when I left 14 month ago.

Yes please Justin. I need help to make the most of the money I earn.

Wow you can’t get childcare for babies under 12 months?? That’s so strange, in Australia babies over 6 weeks can go to daycare

Keep it up!! No need to tell negative stories about your parents and sister just to make money.. Stay away from them by moving to another far far place.. Just live life forward.

In Ontario.ca it says 17 weeks for pregnancy leave, I am so confused.

But how does all that get paid for?

Thanks about the tip if we “report” income to the government we need to offset the parental benefits …😂

What about women who don’t work and have children? How does that work?

Unfortunately, America is too greedy to do something like this.

Insanely jealous

Who supports the homeless or illegal immigrants?

Any extra resources is always useful 🥹🥹
