Alberta Health Care?

[diddagirl]

My boyfriend has been here on a 1 yr working visa which expires at the end of Sept...which is exactly when we will mail of our common law sponsorship application.

He has had Alberta Health Care for the past year, but they sent us a notice in the mail that his coverage will terminate when his visa does at the end of sept.

We are going to be sending off a new visa application + LMO prior to Sept 30th... which gives him implied status. Does anyone know if implied status is recognized by AHC?

Also.. in the event his LMO doesnt come through, is he out of luck for health care? I guess I am just hoping and wishing AHC is extended to people who have a family class sponsorship in progress.

Any info or insight would be great!

Thanks

I think, it is a publicly administered and funded health care system that guarantees Albertans receive universal access to medically necessary hospital and medical services, right?

Alberta Health doesn't recognize implied status
From all I've read about AHC - basically what happens is - your coverage terminates - when you restore status AHC will backdate coverage (and he'll owe premiums) - so make sure if he pays any bills for the doc's during that time frame that he saves the receipts for reimbursement
