Hi,
I am sponsoring my wife (pregnant) to join me in Ottawa, ON. Apparently, my wife will be expected to land 3 months prior to the delivery due date. Upon the OHIP law they will not cover her for the first 90 days. My questions:
1) When land, she needs to submit different types of proof to apply for OHIP; one of those, is the proof of residency (e.g. mailed telephone bill - under her name, ...etc.), this will require a minimum of 30 days to get it mailed to our address. So, would those 30 days be counted or shall they consider only 90 days after providing all required proof documents?
2) Is there a chance to pay for private insurance and cover the birth/delivery expenses?
3) What would be the birth/delivery costs for non covered patients
Finally, what would you advice?
thanks,
