Hello
I'm a new PR, landed last July in Ontario and received my PR and health card in September but didn't finish the 153 days stay after receiving my OHIP. Bec I had to travel out of Canada from Last week of September till end of Feb for my husband's work and my studies. I'm pregnant and I need to give birth in Canada or my baby would get stuck and don't know how I can bring her back to Canada.
My Question is if I didn't stay for 153 days immediately after residency will I still be eligible for OHIP coverage when giving birth in April? I'll be staying more than 153 days in 12 months totally when I come back, but not before giving birth.
Please tell me what to do, coz I'm totally lost .
thanks
