Yes she will stay with me for entire period. We are in Alberta
She applied for PR with work permit.
Does she have to apply for visitor extension as well to get medical cover?
Hey Kaycee,Kaycee1 said:I am a physician here in Alberta - she is not eligible for health care coverage in Alberta as a visitor. She has to have some legal status in Alberta - work visa, permanent residency etc. to be covered by health care. When you apply they will also ask for proof of residency in Alberta, such as a lease in her name, joint utility bills with her listed as well.
Kaycee: If one has visitor visa for 6 months or more, is eligible for Alberta Health Card. My wife did have health card but that is exiring with visa expiry.doctorkb said:Hey Kaycee,
Not to be contrarian, but several people with nothing more than a visitor's record or stamp in their passport have gotten Alberta health coverage recently.
Try to apply: worst case scenario, they say no.
