in canada

What do you mean social system?

healthcare and stuff

health welfare social security etc

Healthcare isn't too bad. It's nice going into a hospital and not having to pay any fees, save for some medications. Ambulances still cost a lot, though

Though, the wait time for a lot of doctors in my province is extremely high.

If you need to see a family doctor, you best book it *months* in advance.

wait time as in having to sit in the waiting room for a long time

oh

If the problem is urgent, you should go to Emergency.

well you dont know when you're going to be sick months in advance haha

When waiting at Emerg, it can take minutes to be seen by a doctor, or up to 10 hours.

It depends on how busy Emerg and Triage are at the time

If you are on an organ transplant waiting list..

Make that months, possibly years.

And there's a high chance you'll die before you get a working organ

huh

what about sick leave

?

That, I don't know shit about

oh okay

Materinity and sick leave vary by province.

Nova Scotia is 10 months at least iirc.

Alberta is only a few months

Etc.

a few months per year that you can be sick?

or what do you mean with that

No, I mean, materinity.

oh right

As for sick leave, I can't remember

It isn't much, though

read somewher on reddit that in the US it's like 10 days of sick leave

i mean what if you're sick for 11 days

just go to work while sick

makes no sense

Probably around 15 here because Canada can be a bit easier on you.

hmm

over here i don't think there's a set limit

just need a doctor confirmation when you're sick

that can be annoying if you have a bad cold for example

If it's a serious illness or something that can be lifethreatening, it can be extended.
