Inland Sponsorship, covid, medical insurance

[Logoesloco]

Hello everyone, me and my husband submitted our apllication for inland spousal sponsorship/owp and are currently waiting for them to be processed/approved.

He has tourist travel insurance that expires in May. After that he will be uninsured.

I work in a hospital, I am a front line worker and I am scared if I get the virus I will give it to him and he will have no medical insurance due to the weird situation he is in right now. Although we are both young and hopefully will have mild symptoms if we contract it, there is always the chance it could be bad and he has to hospitalized. Considering he won't have our countries medical insurance, that will put us into debt forever.

Is there any way to insure him? I am very concerned and torn between my job which is vital right now for the country and putting him in danger and us in danger of incredible debt. At first I was not worried but the more I see in person of this pandemic and what is happening in the hospitals, I am scared.

No matter the cost of the insurance I would pay it, but most companies now have clauses in place that they do not cover coronavirus for tourist insurance.

Not sure. would try to isolate yourselves from each other if possible. Have you received AOR? If so I think your husband qualifies for MSP I believe. Would check with MSP.

You are a "Front line worker"? So you are testing and treating Covid-19 patients?

Any Disease which is communicable and You don't have any health Card or Insurance but you are in Canada you are fully covered'

Your husband is qualified for MSP since you submitted his PR application already. He is now deemed residence. You need to mail in some documents (payment receipt for PR application, passport copy with stamp on when he arrived in Canada, marriage cert)

Has anyone with a TRV whoes applied inland been able to get MSP?

The website is not quite clear (to me at least), if a PR applicant with a TRV is eligible.

Based on the preceding, Canadian citizens and persons with permanent resident status in Canada are eligible to apply for benefits. In addition, certain non-permanent residents may be deemed residents and thus be considered eligible; for example, many holders of study permits and work permits if the permits are valid for six or more months, and many applicants for permanent resident status who are the spouse or child of a resident. Tourists and visitors to B.C. are not eligible for provincial health care benefits.
