I am a Canadian who sponsored my wife to come to Canada in 2011 and her PR papers are just out this week.
After we got married she came to Canada with me on a visitor visa so we can wait together but a few month's in she got pregnant and had to leave the country as it was too much to deliver here.
She had the baby then came back as well on a visitor visa again so we can wait together, a year later she got pregnant again and she went back home about four months ago. She always maintained "status" during her stay here and now with only a month and half to go for delivery of our second child and her having to wait three months to get her OHIP does her stay before count for anything?
If we end up just going to the hospital for delivery without OHIP, do they need payment before they do anything or can I just give them the OHIP when it comes out with a promise that it will be out no later than two months?
Another thing is, if she lands in Quebec (my parents live there) will she get coverage right away? how does one "land" somewhere and then switch over?
I know a lot has been talked about in this matter here but I just want to see if any one has any advice for my personal situation.
Thanks to all
