You must have worked in the same company for certain number of weeks (13 weeks in Ontario, but no requirement for Quebec) in order to be eligible to take maternity leave.
----Really? Same company? That is a thing I have to research carefully.
Yup. See this government's web site

Legislation in all jurisdictions sets a number of qualifying conditions for maternity leave. Employees covered by the Canada Labour Code (federal jurisdiction) and most provincial/territorial labour legislation must have
a minimum period of service with the same employer to be eligible. This ranges from 0 to 12 months: one year in the case of Alberta, Manitoba, the Northwest Territories, Nova Scotia, Nunavut, and the Yukon; 6 months in the federal jurisdiction; 20 weeks before the expected birth date in Newfoundland and Prince Edward Island; 20 weeks in the 52 weeks preceding the day the leave is to commence in Saskatchewan; and
13 weeks in Ontario. British Columbia and New Brunswick have no requirements with respect to length of service, and the only condition in Quebec is to be in the service of the employer the day preceding the notice of intent to take leave.
All jurisdictions require employees to provide notice prior to the start date of the maternity leave. Most call for at least four weeks’ notice, although this is less in Quebec (3 weeks) and in Alberta, Newfoundland, Ontario and New Brunswick (2 weeks). However, in the latter case,
pregnant employees must provide a notice of intent to take leave 4 months before the projected date of delivery. It should be noted that most jurisdictions allow this requirement to be waived under some circumstances, including premature childbirth.
A requirement for employees to provide their employers with a medical certificate in order to qualify for a maternity leave appears in all jurisdictions. However, in the case of Alberta, British Columbia, the Northwest Territories, Nova Scotia and Nunavut, this is only required if requested by the employer. In Quebec, a medical certificate may be replaced by a written report signed by a midwife.2
