Why This Guide Exists
Most parents lose $5,000–$15,000 on maternity leave — not because they aren’t eligible, but because no one explains the system clearly.
EI rules are confusing. HR gives incomplete answers. Government websites contradict each other.
This guide shows you exactly how the system works, in plain English, with visuals and real examples — so you can protect your income and plan your leave with confidence. It has already helped over a hundred Canadian families plan their leave with confidence.
Created by a CPA & Canadian mom who has navigated the EI system twice (ex-Google and CRA)
Who This Is For
✔ First-time moms
✔ High-income earners shocked by EI
✔ Public & Private Employees, Self-employed & contract workers
✔ Couples planning shared leave
✔ Anyone who wants clarity, confidence, and a solid financial plan
