Temporary foreign worker, no job and pregnant

[jade0819]

Hi, I just moved with my fiancee, a canadian citizen to a remote town, I cant find a work here, I was trying since nov 2012, I work for the same employer for 3 years and have to resign to that job to last nov 2012. I have a work permit from them that will expire oct 2014. Last January we found out that I am pregnant, My question is if worst comes to worst that I cant find a job here till I give birth on sept 2013, Am I eligible for maternity benefits? What are the benefits that I am eligible for?

As you would need 600 hours of work in the 52 weeks prior to the start of maternity leave, you won't have hours.
