Health Coverage under CUAET
ANM
|
Hello,
I am in communication with a relative in Ukraine who is considering coming to Canada through the Canada-Ukraine Authorization for Emergency Travel. This relative has a child with special medical needs and would require health coverage upon arrival.
I see on the settlement.org site that Ukrainians arriving through the CUAET are eligible for OHIP and drug benefits. However, when I spoke to Service Canada I was told that emergency authorization only permits travel to Canada, without designating the status under which you are here. Since people with visitor status don't appear to qualify for OHIP, I was wondering whether exceptions were specifically being made for CUAET, or whether applicants needed to request a special status while applying.
Thank you! |
