quebec spouse insurance

[breeze123]

Hi All,

My fiance is a Quebec citizen and I am an international student. We are going to get married soon and we would like to buy insurance together. Do you guys commend any health insurance company for young couple? Thank you!

Hi

Nobody is a "Quebec citizen". A Canadian citizen living in Quebec would be the proper description.

Does she not qualify for RAMQ?

There is no benefit in your partner obtaining private coverage when he is already covered by RAMQ. You should look for coverage for just yourself.

Depends on who you talk to. Legally they are but they don't consider themselves Canadian. But resident is the proper term but depending on language proficiency that can be an easy mistake.

I have several friends from Quebec who most definitely consider themselves Canadian. As for those who consider themselves too good to be Canadian (and we all know who they are), they can easily rectify that by renouncing their citizenship and leaving the country. As a proud Canadian, I have zero tolerance for such people.

Me too. That's why I said that. I know some folks like that and it's truly sad. My husband is like you. He's proud of his country and is happy to be both Canadian and a Quebeccer but I also know some who aren't. They'd rather take the whole province away than them just leave as they feel their way is the best way. But then again, that's what I love about Canada everybody seems to be very passionate about things for better or worse.

Your husband is like my friends, proud of both their country and their Francophone heritage. I don't understand those who think that they can't be proud of both. I also saw it a lot when I lived in the UK. I worked with a guy who didn't consider himself British despite being born and raised there and his mother being born and raised there; he identified himself only by his heritage.

Being proud of where you come from is a good thing but also where you are going. I guess 'Je me souviens' explains a lot. But at least around here I'm accepted. I'm one of them now I guess. Only once did I here 'Damn immigrants, taking our jobs'. When she saw me her face went white and she apologized. She knows us and knows where I come from. She said she meant the illegals and said 'You're going to work, right?' I said yes and she said that that was wonderful and we went on with our day. It's just weird being an 'immigrant' I never really thought about it much until then.

Don't worry guys, Quebec independence will not happen anytime soon because the people from my generation (I'm 36) and younger don't care about those old wars. I'm born here and I speak french and I don't see any advantage of being separated from Canada.
Aren't we drifting from the original topic here?

Yes, sorry. My fault. But I was figuring that could be what the confusion was then it just went. Again, my bad.
