In Canada, you get 12 months. The company doesn't have to pay anything, but employment insurance pays you 55% of your salary for the full 12 months. By law the company must hold your job for you when you come back.

Just the 12 weeks unpaid leave per the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA). If I want more time, I can take any accrued vacation or sick leave I have stored up. Once that's used up I can take more unpaid leave with the approval of my supervisor. It's not much, and it's unpaid at that. It stinks.
