Hi,
What implications are there if any if you are pregnant while studying as an international student? Will if affect you in applying for PR and what health coverage are there in Newfoundland and British Colombia if this happens while you are studying there?

Kindly Advice. Thank you.

There are no implications other than the fact you have more responsibility managing a baby now

It clearly says 18 years or older. So the OP has to wait until her baby is eligible to sponsor her

According to http://www.health.gov.nl.ca/health/mcp/mcp_applications.html a foreign student would have health care in Newfoundland and according to http://www.welcomebc.ca/Live/find-services/healthcare.aspx they would have it in BC too.

In BC, you pay premiums for your health care coverage while in Newfoundland, you don't. Coming to BC, you would have a 2-3 month wait to get health care while in Newfoundland, you would not.
