I'm sponsoring my Nigerian wife under the family class sponsorship. It's been about 8 months so far and we've heard nothing. Anyway, she can't work because a) she's pregnant and b) she has no work permit, so she wont be able to work until we can afford daycare and she has PR. So here's the...

**VERY IMPORTANT** For anybody thinking their wife or husband can't be covered by insurance in Canada until they get PR, that is not correct! I called Health PEI again and got a much more knowledgeable person than the first time I called. She said "As long you have a receipt for PR, her expired...

It'd be much appreciated. Any information can help. I'm planning to call PEI Health and Wellness and see if they can help me out.

We have no birth centers on PEI. Midwives are not allowed here currently. Many islanders are fighting for them currently but our government couldn't care less.

Yeah.... So I just found this: http://www.health.alberta.ca/AHCIP/temporary-residents.html I don't have the stuff required to get an alberta health card... Or is this one of those "Not by the books" things that you can only get at a specific place? I need a damn health card for her.

Wow! You're lucky as hell. I don't know how that works because my work place asked "What's her health card number?" and I said "She has none." and so they told me she'd need to get one before she could be covered.

Oh my god! Hope you're ok!

Is there travel insurance you could recommend that's open to residents of Prince Edward Island? Kanex doesn't let me apply. They say it's not available in their area. Yeah, I'm covered provincially and I have insurance through my work. I was wanting to know two things: 1) Easiest/Fastest way...

What is an open work permit? I didn't apply for a work permit because the visa was just about to expire and her grades weren't good enough. It was too risky to try to get a work permit with poor grades and a student visa that was about to expire so we figured PR was out best option. So, without...

Thanks! I will check that out as well. But about the private health insurance, I called 5 different companies and I believe one said they'd cover her with travel only but couldn't give her anything besides that until she was a permanent resident. The other 4 insurance companies simply said "Call...

I don't even know what to say! You've been so informative and just great. Thank-you so much! Only thing is... She doesn't have a valid student visa (I noticed you wrote "if") or anything else besides the PR receipt. The PR is the only thing keeping her in Canada so would a receipt for PR work in...

Alright so let me get this right: After three months of holding a job in Alberta, I am eligible for health insurance and can apply it to my wife. Right? What about getting a health card? If I show them the receipt for our PR will that be enough? I may really need to consider moving to Alberta...

I'm in PEI. And we applied inbound. As for insurance, do we have to wait until she gets a health card or until she gets PR? I ask because I have insurance for myself through work.

Prince Edward Island = No Midwifes. Yeah, our province sucks. What if we move? What province will give me the best options? We are not averse to moving.

How long have you been off depo? It can take up to a year to stop if you've been on it a long time. I wish there was just an on/off switch for being fertile! Somebody really needs to invent birth control for men so it's double the protection.

Unfortunately no insurance will cover pregnancy after it's happened. So it's a no go there. The other thing is the only insurance she could get would be travel insurance, but I checked into that too and they said she can only get it if she wasn't yet in the country. You have to buy it before you...

Exactly... I just need to find a way to get her health covered asap. She doesn't have any insurance now either as you can't get insurance without at least having a student visa and hers is expired.

I know we're not supposed to go off on tangents here, but I just wanted to say something: Yes, I should have got condoms. And I was using them before. But they take so much intimacy out of everything and when you're married intimacy is extremely important (well, not just for married couples)...

What? Before? We actually called and spoke to numerous representatives at the offices and they told us that medicals are completed only after you receive your first approval.
