Congratulations on the job. In Alberta you are eligible for the provincial health care insurance scheme as soon as you land, if you have arrived from outside Canada.

Re: pregnancy cover

so she would be covered for the baby birth costs and scans and all that stuff??

just she's due an op asap and we've got a window of 'opportunity' for a few months afterwards OR we can wait till we go to canada and see if they'll do the same op there but it would be a pre existing condition
