What Maternity Leave? Freelance Photographer Moms Share Their Reality |

Pregnancy can open up a world of unknowns, but expecting parents in salaried positions can depend on some things: Up to 18 months of maternity leave! Time off for dads! The right to come back to the same role at the same salary. And financial benefits, though it’s not a lot, unless your company tops it up.
That means that when it comes to maternity leave in Canada, the conversation is largely positive. But in practice, it’s more complicated—especially for freelancers, many of whom don’t qualify for or receive any benefits at all.
