Employees in British Columbia take three unpaid days of leave from their job when there has been a death of a family member. The definition of immediate family includes the spouse, parent, and grandparent. The government website does not specify the length of service to be eligible. I believe they are immediately able to take the above leave. Further information is at the following link: http://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/employment-business/employment-standards-advice/employment-standards/factsheets/leaves-and-jury-duty.
