Insurance for landed immigrant in Ontario

[Ish89]

Hi,

I am Canadian citizen and my husband is on PR. We landed last week in Ontario.

OHIP does not cover for first 90 days. What if in this duration I got pregnant and I need to consult a gynaecologist? Which insurance might cover me for this issue? I called Bluecross but I don't think they cover for pregnancy.

Generally Insurance gets covered for accidents or emergencies. Please could someone advise me for this matter?

Thanks in advance.

Hi

You will need to pay for all regular medical expenses until you have OHIP.

Incorrect. The 3 month wait period applies to all.

I renew my Ohip card in may and I will get my new Ohip card in June 1

OP isn't asking about renewing her health card. She has to actually apply for OHIP again and is therefore is subject to the 3 month waiting period.
