Ontario has a 3 month wait until covered by provincial healthcare. So NOTHING is covered by OHIP for at least the first 3 months.

No, you will no be covered by insurance for pre existing conditions.

You can attend any walk in clinic, but will have to pay then and there for the Doctors time and any prescriptions (but you would have to pay for drugs anyway as even when yoh have OHIP it doesnt cover drugs).

Would also mention diabetic supplies are not covered by ohip either. Being a diabetic who needs insulin is quite expensive in Canada so unless you have health insurance through work you may want to look at your plans. You would also have to pay for any maternity care for 3 months. Is your job NOC 0, A or B? If not your wife is not usually able to accompany you.
