[@urvipatel8528]

very Informative video Hi I have question regarding maternity benefits calculation? My weekly pay is sometimes different. How it is calculated? So when you applied it online which week amount you entered (highest amount week pay)? So basically I want to know my expected amount?

[@ohiyominnie]

Thanks Urvi. They calculate your insurable weekly earnings from your best weeks based on information provided by you and your record of employment. So, to get an estimate, you can put an average amount of your last 4 weeks of salary. Please remember that it's just an estimate.

Hello, I just wanted to ask in the comments that there is a way that we can speed up the process of my husband's SOWP application during my 7th month pregnancy in BC, Canada ? While my husband is still in India ?

[@navjotpanag1422]

My wife gave birth on 18 june and her last working day was 14 june. Due to some reasons we haven’t applied for the benefits. Is there a timeline that in which we have to apply for her benefits?

[@anjalikanojia7442]

Hi, I thought of sharing a feedback on your video. Imagine you saw a video on KZbin which is titled in a language that you know and when you open it, you realize that the video is made in language that you don't understand! How much frustrated would you be? You'd probably dislike the video for wasting your time and would go to the next video. That was the situation when I watched this video. So, please title your video in the same language that you'd be making the video in or at least mention the language in the title.

[@ohiyominnie]

Thanks for the feedback 👍

[@abdulmohammed4327]

Do we need to be inside Canada when apply for parental leave ?, let’s take an example of extended leave, do i need to be inside Canada or I can stay in India for 61 weeks thanks

[@jashangill8506]

Do you need to be currently employed or certain time before you apply for leave it’s just total of 600 hours you should have in whole year period?

[@SureshKumar-kc4bp]

Hi, thanks for the video. If I am on Parental leave and I’m not sharing the leaves with my wife, only she’s taking all leaves. do I still get my regular salary in the parental leave period?

How to know hours that 600 completed or not

[@ohiyominnie]

Hello You can calculate manually how many hours you have worked in the past year or you can check with your employer.

[@ParvinderSingh1]

Is it 600hrs each person or in total 600hrs or average of both as 600hrs?

[@user-er3gn1pl8p]

Hi, i have a question. My company wants me to go on temporary lay-off for 3-4 months. And i am planning my family this year. Probably December would be the delivery date. So can i apply for maternity leave and parental leave benefits if i go on temporary lay-off for Jan to April ? Because i read that one must not be on EI in past 52 weeks, from the datewe apply mat and parental leave. Looking forward for a reply asap. Thanks and Regards

[@user-zu3we2hq3n]

How does weekly 650$ is calculated? Is it on the basis on how many hours I worked? Can you explain the calculation method? I am working full time for last 3.5 years so I think I have enough insurable hours. But will I receive the full 650$ (before tax) as benefits?

[@ohiyominnie]

Hello The basic rate used to calculate maternity and standard parental benefits is 55% of average insurable weekly earnings, up to a maximum amount. The maximum amount is $650 a week.

[@food4soul0]

What if I have two jobs?

[@ohiyominnie]

Hello. It's ok if you have two jobs. If you have accumulated 600 insured hours of work in the 52 weeks before the start of your claim from your jobs, you will be eligible. They will calculate your best weeks earnings and decide an amount for your EI.
