It is extremely unlikely that any insurance company is going to cover a pregnancy.  The delivery could cost between $3K and $10K and they sure aren't going to get that back from your insurance fees.

Agreed. I wouldn't bother calling any more insurance agencies - no one is going to cover the costs (why would then if they know they are going to pay out far more than they will receive from you?). You need to start making other plans (i.e. figuring out how to pay the costs yourself, deciding if it would be better to have the baby elsewhere, looking for lower cost options like midwives, etc.).

hi georgiana,

me and my husband will do our landing in toronto by feb 2012.  what if i will get pregnant before our landing, do i have to inform the visa office about it?

thank you.

How far are you? I did my landing in Ontario being in my 6th month of my pregnancy. Having a private health insuarance will help you during those 3 months which you need to wait til u get covered by OHIP, if in Ontario.
If you may board the plane (by IATA rule on pregnant travellers) without medical complications for you and your coming baby, my personal advice would be to make it, coz it will save you a headache and time for sponsoring your baby. Though, don't forget all the fuss and runnings coming with the first landing, arranging papers, apartment hunting and all the accompanying things you will need to handle with. It might be more stressful for a pregnant than in normal condition, though nothing is impossible.

Wish you luck and safe and timely delivery.

No, you only have to inform them if you actually have a baby before your landing.
