Principle Applicant become pregnant during the application process

[semos]

Hi friends

I am sorry to post again , But I remembered one thing that it is sound good to share with all .

If the principle applicant become pregnant while her application is in process , should she notify the visa office in which her application is processed ? and if she arrived to Canada while she is pregnant , how could she receive the proper care ? OHIP is not given until 2 month of residency ?
is there any solution to this matter?

Thanks

There is a question regarding pregnancy. I think it's on the general application form or the questionaire. Fill it out and submit via Case Specific Enquiry.

Ohip isnt valid for 90 days after registering. That's assuming the applicant met the documentation requirements. That said, I read midwives provide care to help in this case. You'd still have to cover the hospital, but it's far less than an OB as well.

Good luck with everything!

Thanks for reply . Which general application form ? I remembered that there is no specific question about pregnancy. All of questions were asking about dependent children and nothing about pregnancy ?
Thank You

You don't need to inform the visa office about pregnancy. Hopefully a re-medical exam will not be required, since it may not be possible to do x-ray portion while pregnant.

Typically one doesn't qualify for OHIP until after they land as a PR, and then need to wait 3 more months waiting period.

Any doctor/hospital costs incurred before she has OHIP will need to be paid out-of-pocket. This can get very expensive for a delivery in hospital, would need to budget $5K to $10K, which could even increase further if any complications.

In Ontario, midwives offer their services for free even if one is not covered by OHIP, so this is ideal solution. Can do a free home birth, or hospital birth with midwife will be much cheaper. Of course it's often very hard to get a midwife as they are in high demand, so depending on your area if she starts searching for one while already mid pregnancy, she may find there are none available.

Thanks for reply . It is really so pain . I am a student , How could i have the 5000-10000 CAD for this . Is there any other way to get insurance or something like that ? do you think that sending e mail to VO to expedite the process would be helpful ?

The VO won't expedite your application. Insurance to cover the costs of delivery can be purchased - but only before you actually get pregnant. So too late in this case unfortunately.

If you cannot afford the costs of delivering the child in Canada, one option would be to have the applicant land and then return to her home country to have the baby there.
