6 Months Pregnant (OWP-holder)

[OEJOS]

Hi everyone!

My Spouse is currently holding a Closed Work Permit in Ontario, whereas I'm the dependent currently holding an Open Work Permit... I am 6 month pregnant now, and currently I'm at my home country. I am planning to go back to ontario by january. May I know if there will be problem? My Open work permit and TRV will expire on 2020. I'm a bit worried, I want to go back to ontario and have our baby born there.... We do both have a Ontario Health Card issued to us this year 2018. Can someone who have been through this or know what do in our case share their experience, It would be highly appreciated.

Thanks...

What @canuck_in_uk was asking is whether you meet the residency requirements to qualify to use OHIP. When did you arrive in Ontario and how long have you been away?

You must also meet at least one of the following additional requirements. You:

• are a Canadian citizen
• are an Indigenous person (registered under the federal Indian Act)

  • you meet the eligibility requirements to apply

Hi!

Thank you! this is very informative! I really appreciate it...

I've been away for almost 2 months now., and have been living in ontario since January this year 2018 only. I just went back in my home country to celebrate christmass and new year. Do you think I'll be able to come back in canada? given that I'm 6 months pregnant.... will they allow me? I met all the requirement based on the post you shared. I'm just a bit worried....

If you meet the requirements and have legal status in Canada you should be fine.
