I forgot to mention im in BC. So there might be differences in rules for provinces.

Hi, they won't ask you on the port of entry if your wife is pregnant. However since you will just be arriving she won't be covered with free medical insurance yet. The free medical insurance is covered 3 months after you land. Which means you have to cover the whole prenatal chek up cost and its...

Hi, I'm a temporary foreign worker on open work permit. I just want to say I am able to come here last August while my spouse is already in Canada also as TFW. If you have a pre approved letter for your visa then that's no issue. Problem will be at the airport if you don't have employment...

Hi so apart from pre natal check ups hospital bills for giving birth is also covered?

I'm on open work permit husband on closed work permit. It expires by 2022. Im due on July 2021.

Also we are in BC

Both of us are working right now, my husband on full time but I'm on contract and it will expire by December this year. So I have to look for another job. We have the provincial health care but I believe that only PR holders are covered by prenatal care? I'm on my first month of pregnancy.

I know this is an old post, I just want to ask if parents are both on work permit, does it mean the cost of the birth of the child will be shouldered by us and no company health insurance will cover this? If this is the case, please give an estimated expense breakdown. Pregnancy was unplanned so...

It doesn't matter if you are on closed or open work permit. As long as you have contract of employment and indicate the contact number of the employer then that's fine. Airline may or may not contact the employer. It will be their discretion.

Hi any updates from anyone here who was able to travel despite being on open work permit with no job offer?

FYI even if we can secure a letter CBSA will decide on a case by case basis. If you have a job offer chances are higher. If no job offer chances are that your travel is non essential and they won't let you enter the country even if you were able to board the plane or even if you have an IRCC letter.

Im from Philippines. Denied at check in desk. Airlines have protocols to contact CBSA before anyone not on PR or not Canadian Citizen can board the plane. So it's the same regardless of Port of origin. CBSA has the final say.

It had been extended for a month the travel ban What is your visa and your husband's visa?

Contacted IRCC asked for an authorization letter even if I know we are exempt for workers and students, but it has to be ESSENTIAL purpose. Problem is with the CBSA they have their own rules so if school doesn't start yet and theres no job offer waiting for you they don't consider it as...

Not sure about that you need to call CBSA, since they dont allow those on work permit that do not have a valid job w8ng for them in Canada.

My approval was last Nov 2019. Was about to travel March when a lot of borders closed down. My spouse is on closed work permit.

Hi fyi im on open work permit and was denied boarding since Airlines coordinated with the CBSA. I don't have any job offer yet hence they denied me even if im to live with my spouse in Canada on closed work permit.

Thanks for the info. My TRV was approved last November 2019, was supposed to leave last March but it's May now so wondering how this is all going to play out.

Hi, is this health insurance all over Canada? Looking for one when we arrive there for a duration of 3 mos.

My husband is there with a lease of contract for 1 year. I thought that even as TRV holders as long as the residency is 1 year or more, it will be considered essential, but I don't want to take the risk of traveling nd getting denied so still waiting for updates. If my daughter's school starts...
