4/18/2017 Topic: Cdn.Citizen Returning - Pregnant Moderator	Hello, Thank you for sharing your situation and question with us. We can appreciate that you would be concerned about this situation. In terms of what the options you may have here in Ontario are, you can find some detailed information in our Settlement.Org I am pregnant and don't have OHIP. What health care can I get? article. You may also find some additional information in this Settlement.Org How much does it cost to get care from a midwife? article. Regarding your question, Is it to late to go through family doctor? You may want to try and contact a family doctor, however, unfortunately, because you will not have completed the three-month waiting period for OHIP, you will likely have to pay for services. Regarding your second question, Are there any private hospitals to give birth? You mentioned that you are returning to Toronto. Many of the hospitals have "Family Birthing Centres" or "Birthing Units". There is also a Toronto Birth Centre which is midwife-led and was planned and designed in collaboration with midwives. For use of the hospital "Family Birthing Centres" or "Birthing Units", as mentioned above, unfortunately, because you will not have completed the three-month waiting period for OHIP, you will likely have to pay for services. I hope this information is helpful. Please let us know if you have further questions and if there is any follow up to your question/situation. ===== Anna Settlement.Org Content and Information/Referral Specialist, CIRS Settlement.Org

Canada’s entry requirements are changing Permanent residents (PR) of Canada must carry and present their valid PR card or permanent resident travel document (PRTD) when boarding a flight to Canada, or travelling to Canada on any other commercial carrier. If you do not carry your PR card or PRTD, you may not be able to board your flight, train, bus or boat to Canada. It is your responsibility to ensure that your PR card is still valid when you return from travel outside Canada, and to apply for a new PR card when your current card expires.

Some examples of private vehicles include, but are not limited to: a car, truck, motorcycle, or recreational vehicle that you own, borrow, or rent, and that is not available for public use. Returning by commercial vehicle: airplane, bus, train, or boat You must apply for a permanent resident travel document (PRTD), valid for one entry. Otherwise you may not be able to travel to Canada. You can apply to replace your PR card when you return to Canada. I hope this information is helpful.
