Maternity Leave After Apply PNP NB

[xuguanlan]

Hi, everyone,

I applied PNP NB in August 2013 and in October I found out I am pregnant. This was approved by the provincial government. I only worked for an employer from April 2013 to January 2014 because I had to start my maternity leave early due to my healthy problem. I had a baby this June. Now I received a letter from the office asking my status from August 2013 to present.

I am worried my maternity leave will affect the result of my application since I had no work from January to present. Does anyone know anything about this? If it is true this will affect my reult?

Thank you very much.

If you are only on maternity leave, you are still an employee of the company. So it should not be an issue.

However, if you leave the company, it may be an issue.

Have you applied for PR already?

I left the company cause the boss is really meant to me after my pregnancy. I am really comfused, how would they know if I am employed by the company or not? Are they going to call my boss and ask? When I submitted my application, my position was a permanent one.

What should I do to reduce the risk?

Thank you.

Personally I think CIC can call your employer anytime if they want to verify the information. In my opinions, you should tell them the truth and explain what happened. For me, you have made a right choice for your baby. Your baby should be the first priority over the work. You did nothing wrong.

If they discover that you are telling a lie, you can be banned for two years.

Thank you. I am not going to lie, and I will tell the truth: I started my maternity leave in Jan, I am just worried. And I am working on my Accounting designation during my maternity leave, and I am in Step 2 now. Is this gonna help me?

I was in your shoes when I was applying for my PR. My PNP officer said that she would nominate me but I should resume work after I finish my maternity and paternity leave which is almost for a year. I applied for my PR and thank God got it before I finished my paternity leave.

I always feared that my employer would fire me during my pregnancy. But, from what I know they can not fire you when you go on a maternity leave.

I would suggest you go for paternity leave and be off work and in the mean while you should get your PR. When you PNP officer calls you just let her know that you are on paternity leave now and will resume work once it is over.

However, it is a different story if they decide to call your employer.
