Yes for sure, torontokids. The premiums you pay are capped at around $850 per year though so you will never pay more than that in premiums even if warranted by your income.

Just wanted to post a link to my update! I registered for this program and everything worked out really well! Here's my update: ...

Hi everyone! As promised I am updating the threads on Maternity Leave benefits so that others can learn from my experience :-).
So, I registered online for EI benefits for self-employed people in...

Thank you so much Spixie! I sometimes wonder if I had started my business when I was younger if it would be easier. I'm almost 40 and had the luxury of a pretty cushy government job with paid lunch...

Thanks wonderwiper! It's going to be a great year! All the best to you too.

I have a family that sounds similar. The child is perfectly healthy, is growing well, meeting all of his developmental milestones, etc. but every week there is a new 'crisis'. This child has been in...
