Hi there, my wife and I have applied for Permanent Residence status for her under family class and are currently awaiting our result. She is an American and I am Canadian. I believe this question has more to do with moving to Canada from the US than family class sponsorship so I have posted it under this section.
We are planning on having her come to Canada under a tourist visa while we await our result, however we are slightly confused as to how to go about getting health coverage. Since she is not a PR, she can only get visitor coverage. However, I have noticed that all of the visitor coverages I have seen only cover emergency situations. Since we will need to provide a health check for her as part of this process, we need a health care plan that includes standard check ups as well.
Does anyone here have any experience similar to this (i.e. spouse is on tourist visa awaiting PR) and what companies/policies did you find helpful for you?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
