Since you have been outside of Canada for well over a year, you are no longer covered by OHIP. Once you return to Canada, you will have to live in Canada for three months before you will have OHIP coverage. You will be responsible for paying for any medical expenses, including doctor appointments and the birth of your child, that take place during this three month waiting period. If your child is due during the three month waiting period and you want to reduce the costs of delivery, I would recommend that you look into having a home birth with the assistance of a mid-wife (rather than having the baby in a hospital).
