Does your wife have an OWP (even if not working) and TRV for your child? Do you have funds to afford to pay for housing for your family and living expenses? What university will you be attending?

Yes she has OWP. Yes I have enough funds for living but more curious about my wife insurance. It’s INRS-EMT in Varennes( QC)

Looks like your spouse would have to purchase a travel medical policy which typically does not cover pregnancy (or only the initial stages of pregnancy for certain policies) if purchased after you got pregnant. Does she have plans to start working when arriving in Quebec before the baby is born? How far into the pregnancy is she? Will you be working when you arrive in Quebec? You may qualify for RAMQ as a family at that point. Would suggest confirming with your school international student office.

Are you from any of these countries by chance and have been living there? That would give you access to provincial healthcare in Quebec or do you have a scholarship from the province of Quebec?
