Maternity leave Canada

Chris

I’m a little lost between me and my husband we are going to take the time off I will do the first 12 months and then he will do the reminder making it 18 months.

I know how if you do the 18 months your partner is entitled to receive parental leave as soon as baby is born which is 8weeks and for 12 months it’s 6 weeks does anyone know if he will still qualify even though he’s taking the rest of the maternity?
