Hello Forum,

Is it possible for a PR applicant to obtain AHCIP as an Outland applicant (and outside Canada)?

From AB's health care website, I understand that applicants who can provide a "positive first decision" may be considered - however, as we have applied Outland this may not be available.

Source: http://www.health.alberta.ca/AHCIP/forms.html

So, is there anything that can be done in advance of landing in Canada to obtain AHCIP? I appreciate that there is visitor insurance available, but I am more interested in AHCIP for pregnancy coverage (which is tricky to get insurance for).

Some background:

- I have a Canadian passport, received SA on 6 July 2017 and married my wife (PR) in 2016 (living together since May 2015)
- We intend to land in AB in early 2018


Thanks to all!
Alex

Hi

No, not possible.

As a new PR, your spouse will have coverage from day 1 anyways.
