Hello, during covid 19 I stuck in canada and I gave birth here. I applied for health covered since I couldn't leave so now I'm having my newborn! The father is a canadian citizen but we are not married or anything like this. Km thinking to leave Canada with my baby. Do I need my baby's father signature for that?

It's hard to know what you may be asked when travelling to another country. Officials in Canada or in the other country you are going to can ask you for documents to prove you can travel with your child. These officials can decide whether to let you in or out of the country.
To avoid delays or being refused entry or exit at the border, it's safest to have a travel consent letter signed by the other parent.
Even if you have sole custody, you may still be required to show that you have permission of your partner or anyone else that has access to your child, to travel with your child.

You may be eligible for OHIP when you arrive, the Government of Ontario is currently waiving the 3-month waiting period for health coverage due to current events with COVID-19. You may find helpful information in the Settlement.Org article, What documents do I need to apply for a Health Card (OHIP)? and How do I apply for a Health Card (OHIP)?

According to Service Ontario’s COVID-19 notice:

Please note: we have extended validation to expired and expiring health cards. You do not need to renew at this time.

As of March 19, 2020 we are waiving the three-month waiting period for OHIP coverage. If you do not meet the criteria for OHIP coverage and are uninsured, the province will fund the cost of COVID-19 services.

Until further notice, “the Ministry [of Health] requests hospitals provide all medically necessary services to all persons who present at a hospital, regardless of whether the person presents a valid OHIP card, or does not have health insurance under OHIP or another provincial health insurance plan.”

There is more information about prenatal care options in Ontario in this article, I am pregnant and don't have OHIP. What health care can I get?.

Hello, what an immigrant mother should do after she gives birth in Canada? She need to leave? Does she needs the baby's father's signature to leave with the baby?

My family has applied for protected person status in Canada, we have got our referral and have our refugee claimant document. Under this circumstance am I a protected person? ( My reason for asking is because I want to know if I can apply for studentaid, I am going to Memorial University of Newfoundland, I saw that protected persons can also apply)

If you are a refugee claimant, you should refer to the scholarships listed below and also visit the financial aid office of your institution. An advisor from this office can help direct you to different funding options, such as scholarships and bursaries within the institution which you may be eligible for.

Hi,

I am an Indian Passport Holder and having a valid Canadian visa. I have few queries.

I am coming to Canada in Feb, 2021. and I have come to know about G1/G2 driving license in Toronto. is that possible to get G1/G2 license on Visitor visa. As I had a word with one driving school in Toronto and they said you need a local address to avail G1 license and for G2 license you need Visitor record form. then you can stay in Toronto for more then a year in a single stay.

If it is possible, then I need assistance for the same and will ready to pay the service charges.
also wanted to know that how to get LMIA and its charges.

Regards

Ravi

Visiting: more than 3 months
If you will be visiting from another country for more than 3 months, you will need an International Driver’s Permit (IDP) from your own country.
This is a special licence that allows motorists to drive internationally when accompanied by a valid driver’s licence from their country.
You need to have this permit with you when you arrive in Ontario. You cannot apply for one once you are here.

You must apply for an IDP outside of Canada. IDPs issued in Canada are not valid in Canada.


The IDP is primarily used by visitors to Ontario. If you plan on living in Ontario - that is, you will be a permanent resident living in Ontario - you need to get an Ontario driver's licence within 60 days of moving to Ontario.
