    Alberta Health Care?

    Alberta Health doesn't recognize implied status From all I've read about AHC - basically what happens is - your coverage terminates - when you restore status AHC will backdate coverage (and he'll owe premiums) - so make sure if he pays any bills for the doc's during that time frame that he saves...

    Co-Signer

    3 years is spousal - there is no co-signing for spousal If there is welfare to be repaid - they will find it for sure when you go to sponsor your husband Best bet is to call the province where this person was living at the time & ask if you owe If they won't tell you - can always try CIC
