Maternity Leave for Canadian in USA

[wishiwasthere23 0]

Helly all...

Wondering if anyone can give me some info on this.

I recently found out that i am 4 weeks pregnant, and we are just sent the I29F for the K1 Visa.

I am going to have our baby here in Canada as I probably won't be down in the USA by then.

I have been at my job for over 7 years, will i be able to continue my maternity leave when i am in the USA or will they revoke it because I will be living out of Canada???

Thanks in advance for your replies

Looks like you can, you just need to inform them:

Maternity, parental and sickness benefits when you are out of the country

You are able to collect maternity and parental benefits while you are outside Canada. However, you must advise your Service Canada Centre if you go out of Canada.
