Hello People, I need help.
My wife is with me in Nova Scotia on an open work permit. She could not get provincial health insurance because her open work permit was less than a year ( reason was because my initial study permit was just for 6 months because of my expiring passport).
She is currently pregnant and the fees for someone without coverage are high which we cant afford. I have since January 2019 renewed my study permit and have apied for the extension of her work permit so that she can have a one year validity and get and MSI card. But the timeline says it takes up to 6 months to review.
My question is this, can we go to the border to renew her work permit? She is from a visa exempt country. Her current permit is valid till May 2019.
Please your inputs will ne appreciated
