Still not sure what you mean. The wait period is never waived. Instead of using the date of arrival in BC to start the wait period, MSP uses the date the app is received by IRCC or the date the fees are paid. Time before either of those actions is not counted towards the wait period.
I still don't know what you are trying to say. They serve the wait period just like everyone else and sometimes their status is visitor during that time. For people who don't apply for MPS right away, the wait period may already be done by the time they do. This is the case for anyone. When I returned to BC, I applied for MSP after about 2 months, as I knew I wouldn't get coverage before then anyways. My coverage started 3 weeks after I applied.
I plan to, thank you. I am going to call Monday morning. I had anticipated having her Work Permit renewed already so it wasn't going to be an issue but things are taking longer than expected now and it is making me anxious.
It takes 3-4 months to get the OWP, so the earliest it may arrive is closer to the end of March.
Yes, I am aware of that. I meant about renewing her current work permit, not the OWP.
It is under the Health Act.....no exemptions under any circumstance. Nobody can get waived from 3 months waiting period.
