Oh torontokids, I wasn't insinuating you wanted to commit fraud!! I didn't know the rules either before I researched it, and it was super-complicated to find the answers. I just wanted to pass on the info I gathered.

Totally agree with CrazyEight! No one is trying to accuse you of wanting to commit fraud. but since other people do try out such ideas it can be easy to think it is ok. By being direct you are informed...should you still choose to do it you were forewarned! If you hadn't considered it being a problem you now know so you don't get into trouble!

Your best approach is likely to try and guesstimate what your EI mat leave pay out would be...and see if you can manage on that. If you don't think you can then spend the time to consider all options to make something work. If you do need more income then there should be lots of ladies on here with ideas...just realize the ideas may not all be legit and legal so clarify all details first!

Will this be your first baby?? So exciting! You must be overwhelmed with having just found out! Try not to plan too far ahead right away...enjoy being newly pregnant before you dig too deep into details and plans!!
