Hi
Can we receive EI Parental benefits while being outside Canada for complete 35 weeks.
1/ Yes.
Am I allowed to leave Canada while receiving EI maternity or parental benefits
Yes, you can receive EI maternity and parental benefits while you are outside Canada. However, if you leave the country, please let us know by calling 1-800-206-7218 (TTY: 1-800-529-3742) and pressing "0" to speak with a representative.
Note: Different provisions may apply to Quebec residents who receive Quebec Parental Insurance Program benefits.
2/ Note that you will probably lose your Medical Plan benefits in Canada after 6 months outside Canada, and have to re-apply.
3/ You should check with provincial medical insurance plan to see if it will be suspended if you are gone for more than 6 months, 7 in Ontario.
