Does OHIP cover pregnancy and Delivery for a new immigrant

[dbss]

it shall be well,you may land in Toronto and moved your wife to Calgary for the delivery or land in Calgary .the reason for Calgary is that you are entitled to medical cover from the day of landing.please don't stress yourself too much.

but you will need to stay in Calgary for a while once you have done that else the province will send you a bill home if they find out you just moved for the medical expenses.

i don't think so please.

Here is an excerpt from Alberta's healthcare website:

Eligible residents:

An eligible resident of Alberta is a person who is:

Legally entitled to be or to remain in Canada and makes his/her permanent home in Alberta;
Committed to being physically present in Alberta for at least 183 days in a 12 month period
Not claiming residency or obtaining benefits under a claim of residency in another province, territory or country;
Any other person deemed by the regulations to be a resident not including a tourist, transient or visitor to Alberta.

Yes they will.

There was someone on this forum a while back who tried this and ended up being billed around $38K by the province she left.

Hello All,
I have a query regarding Canadian OHIP coverage for pregnancy-related expenses. I currently have a work permit, but my PR application is being processed. Do all pregnancy-related costs under OHIP coverage apply to me while I have a work permit?

Firstly I had plans to deliver the baby in Canada only but as most of you are aware that in Ontario province medical insurance is entitled after 3 months and the cost/quotation which I have got from the hospital varies between 10 - 15 k. (To add I had informed CHC about the pregnancy at the time of Medical and my wife did her medicals including the xray)

The 3 month rule has been waived for several years now. It might come back some day. But for the last several years there has been no 3 month wait time.

3 month wait period may have returned.
