Work permit expires during maternity leave

[Dago]

Hi,

I am holding TWP and my husband is holding SOWP. My contract and work permit expire at June-30/2011. I am going on a maternity leave on June 24/2011. Does my employer must hold my position until I comeback from the leave? (even though the original contract end date is during my maternity leave?)

Thank you,
Debby

Hi,

No, the employer is not required to hold your position. If you plan on staying in Canada after the baby is born in June, you must apply for a change of conditions to your permit from worker to visitor (unless you get another job).

You need an approved LMIA to extend your work permit.
