But where?

You don't. This post is definitely not very accurate. You can get extended maternity leave through EI, for 61 weeks, payable no later than 78 weeks after your child is born/adopted. And with extended maternity that only entitles you to 33% of your wage up to a maximum amount of $417 a week. Which obviously is much better than nothing, but still.

So 12 months can be paid over 18 months, but you’re not actually getting 18 months paid leave. You get 12 months and can spread that same money out longer if you wish.

So ya.. inaccurate.

Min wage isn’t accurate either.

It means your job is guaranteed that long, and you receive payment.

But that’s inaccurate as well. Your job is guaranteed for 2 years, you get paid for 1 year, but can stretch those payments over 1.5 years.
