Hi,

My situation is that me and my wife have received the COPR under express entry and had planned to be in Canada in April 2020 but due to this COVID-19 situation our flights got cancelled and currently there are no international flights operating from our country. I have got a job in Montreal and I am planning to settle there. But the situation is that I have recently found that my wife is 7 Weeks Pregnant. In order to get the Health Card for Qubec there will be a waiting period of 3 months! But the RAMQ website states that services related to pregnancy, child birth or termination of pregnancy might be available free of charge. Does this mean my wife can avail these services free of charge and are there any special conditions?

As there would be some pre-natal tests and consultations. I am not sure if the RAMQ will cover those costs or not. Can you please suggest me some options may be any insurance that might cover the costs or is there a possibility to reduce the waiting period of 3 months ?

Thanks
