Hi,
I need to go back to my home country to support my father who is ill.
I am PR holder in Canada and work for a private company.
i have couple of questions about compassionate care/family caregiver leaves and it’s benefits-

1) what all documents we need to submit to my company usually to get these leaves? Do we just need to submit as medical certificate from family doctor or do we need to share the medical reports/records too. I know I should be asking this to the company I work for but I want to keep the docs ready before applying for it so that there are no complications.

2)are we able to get these benefits (EI payments for these leaves) if we are living outside of canada to support the family?
