Hi, I'm four months pregnant, married to a Canadian, have applied for my Premanent Residency but still waiting on AIP ( Approval in Principle ) letter to apply for OHIP.

I can't afford the visits to doctor as I don't work.

What should I do?

I moved to Gatineau a month ago from Brockville. In Gatineau I'm not abale to find any place where they will see me free of charge or on a discount :(
