Am I allow to attend school while I’m on maternity leave? If yes, how will it affect my EI weekly payment?
You are entitled to attend training school during the period you collect maternity benefits (15 weeks only). If your training course overlap to parental benefit period, you must demonstrate to EI commission that your training activity does not interrupt your responsibility in taking care of the newborn baby.
