Yea, you said a year... It depends on the job. It could be 17 weeks.
Mother can take complete 52 weeks (17 for Maternity & 35 for Parental, These are not paid by the Company but the Government and the amount will be thhe 55% of the highest pay check amount in the last 22 Weeks) if the father doesn't want to be a part of the Parental Leaves, Some companies also offer Paternity leave for 2 weeks (Paid)

There's nothing more awesome than throwing a cup of boiling water out your window and watching it instantly turn to snow :D
It even turns to vapor if the temperature is below -20 C

If eligible... It's the same kind of rule as in the UK. The person, if employed, HAS to be offered a min of 17 weeks paid maternity. Depending on your contract or your salary you can be offered up to a year. As well as that you can split it so that the Dad gets some paid time off while the mum works or vice versa. The government also has a scheme where they will pay up to 55% if eligible.

You don't just get paid for a year by the government. There's conditions. It's the same in NZ, UK and Canada.

Really? I think we must have lived near some bad McD's as the A&W was EPIC!!! :D

Root beer tastes like sadness though.
All A&W burgers either taste super bland or super salty to me, or maybe A&W in BC just sucks...

A plus thing for living in Canada is the overwhelming amount of sushi restaurants, or at least in Vancouver.
