Topic: OHIP for Mexican wife of Canadian

aduncana

HI, I'm Mexican and my husband is Canadian. We were married in Ottawa. I've been living in Ottawa 7 months so far, waiting for my PR application to be processed. I received a notice in August that my PR file has been received and is being processed.

I've read on many forums that I can apply for OHIP after my file has begun processing and after I've been given a case number. I'm now 2 months pregnant. We've spoken with many insurance companies, and the insurance companies will not cover deliveries due to it being a per-existing condition. Our appointments have already cost $300. Next will be the ultrasound which we've heard can be upwards of $500. Given that the PR process has started, will I be eligible for OHIP so the birth won't cost us $10,000?

thanks
A
