Topic: Canadian Citizen Moving to Canada While Pregnant

jwlondon

Hello,

My family and I are hoping to move home to Toronto in August (2021), at which point I will be 6-7 months pregnant. We will be permanently relocating to Ontario, having lived in the UK for the past 11 years. My husband and I grew up in Ontario and we are all (including young son) Canadian citizens.

My question is about OHIP coverage for pregnancy / delivery. I understand the OHIP 3 month waiting period has been waived at present, but want to confirm that this means I can receive coverage for maternity care through OHIP - not just Covid treatment. If I plan to renew my previous OHIP card (expired in 2014) immediately upon my relocation in August (and post-quarantine) will I be able to receive an OHIP card and coverage for maternity care right away? I am due in early November.

Thanks for your help!
