You can work for your employer until your work permit ends or until the job ends. You will need to be prepared financially if you need to take extended time off work. Not all pregnancies are without problems. Many women need to take time off during their pregnancy. A baby born in Canada will be Canadian. Whether you receive EI maternity benefits will depend on whether you qualify to receive them and whether you are still legally allowed to remain in Canada. Maternity leave benefits are only a fraction of your regular salary so you’ll need to save money to plan for maternity leave. Childcare is also very expensive in Canada. You will qualify for child benefit after being in Canada for 18 months.
