how can avoid the high cost of delivering a baby in canada

[canuck78]

Moving to Quebec for 6 months and the resettling somewhere else 6 months later will likely cost the same as paying for a birth if you don't work while you live in Quebec. As previously mentioned you can add your child to your application in your home country and it is not considered asking for an extension.

Thanks guys for sharing your input. I have a word with RamQ about eligibility & documents required for enrolment. They confirmed pregnancy services are covered during waiting period. However they did not disclose much about the documents required to enrol as they want the applicant to visit the office.

Does any one have an clue what documents might one need for enrolment?

 

[canuck78]

Would assume you need something like a lease or utility bill to prove that you are living in Quebec. If you plan on moving yo Quebec to have you baby keep very detailed records of how long you were in the province and I would keep them for a couple of years.

They also mentioned " Certificate of Deliverance of CSQ".

Since my csq has been submitted to federal, RamQ mentioned they want an original document like CSQ or 'Certificate of Deliverance of CSQ'. I am not getting anything on google for this. Am I using the right letters or is it called something else. How do I apply for it in advance

Immigration Quebec should have sent you a letter confirming they have issued you a CSQ is you are a Quebec-selected immigrant. This would have come with your CSQ.

Right, that letter was sent to Federal along with CSQ..

Hi there,
We had a baby born few days back at credit valley. We have no OHiP coverage due to less than 3 months phenomenon and costs are as follows:

CAD 4,500 are taken as advance cash by the Obs/Gyne clinic at building 2000 next to credit valley hospital. This includes physician responsible for delivery, first doctor appointment at clinic, admin charges and the charges for Anesthesia if required at delivery.

Hospital charges were appx 3300 CAD per day i.e. if you enter hospital for Labor Assessement, baby is born in birthing suite appx 12 hrs from forst arrival at hospital and then 1 days stay after delivery. You will be charged for two dats. For PR card holders,this fee is appx 1300 CAD per day.

Baby is covered after birth however any costs towards tests etc are to be paid incl. any doctors which will

This thread might be useful!!!

I already had COPR and my passport stamped before the birth of my child. My child was born in June 2017 (in my home country) while the landing date that I was given was May 2017. I told my visa office that I will land after the birth of my child which meant that my COPR would expire. My visa office said that that's not an issue and told me to just provide them with the baby's passport, birth certificate and some other documents. I did that and then a couple of months later received new COPRs inclusive of my baby this time.

I did not have to go back in the queue and wait for an ITA despite my original landing date expiring without having landed in Canada.

Hi @Fairmont81,
I am in similar situation. Can you please share the name of the Obs/Gyn clinic that you worked with.

Thanks!

Hello Everyone,
I just got to know that my wife is pregnant and is in initial weeks. I have plan for we both to travel to Ontario next month i.e. when my wife will be in 2-3 month of pregnancy.

Now considering that Ontario health card's average waiting time is 3 months,
i. Will my wife be eligible for all medical facilities provided by Ontario health insurance after 3 months i.e. Dec/Jan onwards?
ii. Can I opt for travel insurance or any private insurance to support for these 3 months(until Ontario health card is issued)?

Please suggest

Thanks much!

Best time to settle is at least three months before you get pregnant to ensure all costs are covered.

Would also wait until you have a job and if your wife plans on working that she be established in her job before getting pregnant. She needs to work 600 hours to qualify for maternity leave payments but that is only a fraction of her normal salary. It is also hard to find a job as a newcomer. Pregnant newcomer will be even more challenging. If you have to write your dental licensing exams I would wait until after you have passed. Having children is expensive. Also when you have healthcare.

But couldn't they live as a satellite family where the husband earns money in another country to support the housewife in Ontario? The wife doesn't have to be working. Following Scylla's suggestion, that could work too.

Btw, buy lottery and try to win is another option!
