On the <strong>special plan<\/strong>, 15 weeks at 75%. Both plans then continue with parental benefits shared with the other parent.<\/p><h3>How long is parental leave in Quebec?<\/h3><p>Combined maternity + paternity + parental leave can be up to <strong>50 weeks<\/strong> on the QPIP basic plan, or 40 weeks on the special plan. The plan is shared between the two parents and the time can be taken simultaneously or sequentially.<\/p><h3>Who pays into QPIP?<\/h3><p>All Quebec employees, employers, and self-employed workers contribute. 2026 rates: <strong>0.494% (employee)<\/strong>, 0.692% (employer), 0.878% (self-employed). The maximum annual contribution per worker is $484.<\/p><h3>Can my spouse and I be on QPIP at the same time?<\/h3><p>Yes. Both parents can claim QPIP benefits simultaneously for any of the shared parental weeks. Many Quebec couples overlap for the first 5 weeks (paternity + maternity) then alternate to maximize total weeks of family income.<\/p><h3>Is QPIP taxable income?<\/h3><p>Yes. QPIP benefits are subject to federal and Quebec income tax. Tax is automatically withheld from benefit payments. You&#8217;ll receive a T4E and Relev\u00e9 6 in February for the previous year&#8217;s payments.<\/p><h3>Can I work while on QPIP?<\/h3><p>You can earn some income while receiving QPIP benefits, but it reduces your benefits dollar-for-dollar above an exemption (~25% of your weekly benefit). For most parents, taking on freelance work clawbacks the benefit. Returning to a regular job stops benefits entirely.<\/p><h3>How do I apply for QPIP?<\/h3><p>Apply online at rqap.gouv.qc.ca within 12 weeks of birth\/adoption. You need: SIN, baby&#8217;s birth certificate or adoption papers, ROE (Record of Employment) from your employer, banking info for direct deposit. Approval takes 2\u20133 weeks. First payment usually within 4 weeks of approval.<\/p><h2>Related Montreal tools<\/h2><ul><li><a href=\"\/quebec-income-tax-calculator\/\">Quebec Income Tax Calculator<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"\/daycare-cost-calculator\/\">Daycare (CPE) Cost Calculator<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"\/school-zone-finder\/\">School Zone Finder<\/a><\/li><\/ul><p style=\"font-size:13px;color:#64748b;margin-top:30px\">Sources: R\u00e9gime qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois d&#8217;assurance parentale (RQAP) 2026 rates.
