Alberta Health for my daughter bornt out of canada

[fvidania]

Hello, I am a PR and had a daughter with my wife, who is also PR, in Europe. We are coming back to Canada and wanted to know if my daughter who was bornt in Europe and is not PR yet, will be covered by Alberta Health Insurance.

Basically, Father, mother and sister are PR, this new baby was bornt in Europe, is she covered by AHI?

Can someone tell me?

Did you live in Alberta previously? How long have you been out of Canada?

 

[fvidania]

Yes, we lived in Calgary for almost 4 years and were out of Canada for 2.5 years.

Yes she should be covered in Alberta. Not in many of the other provinces though.

You should be covered, provided your child has a valid passport stamp. AHCIC will only cover her while she is authorized to be in the country, so a date on the stamp is important or a visitor record. Keep in mind that AHCIC will not cover someone on implied status.

Assuming that you will be sponsoring the child when you come to Canada, explain that to CBSA when entering and ask for a one year Visitor Record.
