health care
Hi I am living in Nova Scotia. My wife has been here as a visitor for
the last 5 months and we have also applied for her permanent residency which should hopefully be completed pretty soon. We just found out my wife is 5 weeks pregnant and therefore would need to get set up with hospitals etc straight away. I heard that after getting permanent residence status u have to wait three months before applying for the health card and services. However, I contacted the Nova Scotia MSI and they informed me that my wife can apply straight away for a health card when she recieves her immigration and it takes about three weeks to receive it. Is this true? Also I am not a canadian citizen so does this cause any problems with regards to the baby? do we need to inform the CHC London about my wife being pregnant? |
Re: health care
If the child is born in Canada it will be a Canadian citizen and not of
interest to immigration. You have already contacted the Nova Scotia Medical Insurance authority and no one here is likely to know any better. -- Jim Humphries, former visa officer "Bob" <[email protected]> wrote in message news:[email protected]... > Hi I am living in Nova Scotia.

Re: health care
the 3 month wait time is only with a few provinces. If NS said that dont
have a wait time, then she will be covered right away she is a PR. "Bob" <[email protected]> wrote in message news:[email protected]... > Hi I am living in Nova Scotia.
