Hello everyone, hope you are all staying safe.

I and my wife have applied for h and c due to health conditions and disability of my son. We came on a visitor visa and got visitor visa insurance after coming here which is ( health insurance) now going to be expired. My question is that if we have now already applied for h and c, do we get any health coverage before stage 1 and if not do we need to buy private insurance until stage 1 is complete ?

Please guide

Thanks

There is no health care coverage until after you have stage 1 approval. You will need to either purchase additional private insurance or pay for any health care costs yourselves.

There isn’t stage 1 approval anymore. You will have to plan on extended your emergency coverage for around 3 years and paying for any routine care out of pocket. H&C is not guaranteed.

Oh man good luck with your H&c I’m been waiting since 2018 no answer yet even though you get approved for 1 stage one it will take 18 to 24 then 12 months after that which will cost you A lot if you work illegal in Canada it’s crime you will be removed from Canada don’t trust some of lawyers that give you advice they best way for you stay in Canada to get job offer from a company or contract
Hope for best and prepared for worse!
 
Same here too. Mine is in process now. How long do you think it will take to get Aip
Hard to say, I waited 23 months just to start to processing. Could be a couple of months or more than a year, unpredictable

When your application beginning to process it's Depending on your case manager how big is your Files If your file is not thick process time very fast may between 9 to 18 months if your file is thick it’s 12 to 24 months for first stage if you complete your medical fee and background your in good shape your chance are 99%
 
Nobody is getting processed within 9 months. Processing seems to be starting around the 2 year mark for most people.
