Would I be eligible for OHIP with a temporary resident permit? Apparently these types are eligible:
Temporary Resident Permit with case type 80 (for adoption only), 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94 or 95;

Yea, that's what I just told her. Wow, haha. And she seemed so excited.
Here is something that might influence your decision.
The current fee for a child born outside of Canada to a Canadian citizen is $75 to obtain Canadian citizenship. (I dont think that there is an age limit)
The current fee for a child born outside of the US to an American citizen is $460 to obtain US citizenship. (Application has to be done before the age of 18).
I don't know if that is a factor for you but for me, I would want my child to have the opportunity to live and work in either place when they are an adult (and my daughter will).
It sounds to me (I may be wrong) that your costs all around - pregnancy, birth, health care, and even citizenship are cheaper if you stay. Either way, you will make the right decision for your family!

That is a good point. Ugh, confused.
OK ONE more thing to throw in to the mix. I just read this.

OHIP Eligibility
Am I eligible for Ontario health insurance coverage?
On April 1, 2009, changes were made to the OHIP eligibility rules under Regulation 552 of the Health Insurance Act. As a result of these changes, you may be eligible for the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) if you are included under one of the following categories :
* you are a Canadian citizen, permanent resident or landed immigrant, or are registered as an Indian under the Indian Act;
* you have submitted an application for permanent residence in Canada, and Citizenship and Immigration Canada has confirmed that you meet the eligibility requirements to apply for permanent residence in Canada (please note: applicants for permanent residence are no longer required to provide confirmation of having satisfied the Immigration medical as a condition for OHIP coverage);
* you have applied for a grant of citizenship under section 5.1 of the Citizenship Act (Canada), and Citizenship and Immigration Canada has confirmed that you meet the eligibility requirements to apply for citizenship (i.e., children adopted internationally by Canadian citizens);
* you are a “protected person” - i.e. a Convention Refugee or a person in need of protection;
* you are a foreign worker who holds a work permit valid for at least six months that allows you to work in Canada, and you also have a formal agreement in place to work full-time for an employer situated in Ontario which sets out the employer’s name, your occupation, and states that you will be working for no less than six consecutive months;
* you are a foreign clergy member who will be ministering to a religious congregation in Ontario for at least six months;
* you hold a Temporary Resident Permit with case type 80 (for adoption only), 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94 or 95;
* you are the spouse, same sex partner, or dependent child (under 22 years old or 22 years and over if dependent due to a mental or physical disability) of an OHIP-eligible foreign worker or an OHIP-eligible foreign clergy member;
* you hold a valid work permit under the federal Live-in Caregiver Program;
* you hold a valid work permit under the federal Seasonal Agricultural Worker Program;
AND
* you make your primary place of residence in Ontario; and generally speaking,
* you are in Ontario for at least 153 days of the first 183 days immediately following the date you establish residence in Ontario (you cannot be absent for more than 30 days during the first 6 months of residence); and
* you are in Ontario for at least 153 days in any 12-month period.
Tourists, transients or visitors are not eligible for OHIP coverage.
See the part in BOLD. I thought I would just look on OHIPs website to see what it says and saw this new information.
I suggest that you contact OHIP because the information we give you isnt always 100% accurate - we just go based on what we can find out and what we know from experience... and apparantly things can change.
Ah, I missed that! So basically as long as my application is sent and I meet the requirements, I can get OHIP? Interesting. I'll call tomorrow!

Well this is something I have never heard of, although I am not well versed in OHIP information... but... it looks like this is a recent change that may make your situation much less complicated.
Sorry to overwhelm you with all the information!.

It's okay! I'm so grateful to have all of this information! It's stressful figuring it out, but you guys are helping me so much. I'll call tomorrow to make sure, but this is looking like good news for me. Then I could get my application in by the end of July and probably leave hopefully in September... that way baby would have healthcare at birth and I'd just be paying for three months during my pregnancy, yes? That wouldn't be TOO bad. I mean, I'm paying for my insurance here, too!
I think- though I am not positive, that that still makes you fall under the 30 days wait.
I still haven't gotten my answer from OHIP about my kids having to wait.
But, if you moved 3 months before the baby was born - it looks like you'd be covered for the delivery (not any pregnancy upto that point though).
However - I"m not sure if the board will let you cross with the intention of not staying - perhaps someone can come along with thoughts on that. Because you are meant to take up residence. Hmm. I hope they give you a clear answer.

Yea, my MIL is now saying that one of her coworkers brought up their pregnant daughter in law and the whole thing was covered for her because she just had an app in.
My MIL wants me to cross the border in September without applying for anything thinks I'll still be covered. Umm? I really don't see how thats possible... or how they would even allow me over the border, even if I said I ws visiting.

Well then you'd be applying inland - and I can see how you'd be allowed to start your residency. You'd be getting integrated as if you were planning to stay. The process takes longer -but it looks like you don't have to wait for OHIP (the 3 months just possibly) until your approved then like you would from the US. You just have to hope baby doesn't come early
I think each boarder crossing could be different from day to day and minute to minute (mood to mood). I think usually in posts they have wanted significant ties to the US and might be curious how long your staying - but I think I read that if you just get in and then apply - then your OK- because your on implied status or something / and are in process of.
"you have submitted an application for permanent residence in Canada, and Citizenship and Immigration Canada has confirmed that you meet the eligibility requirements to apply for permanent residence in Canada"
I'm pretty sure this only applies to the In Canada class permanent residency application. I'm sure they will clear that up when you call tomorrow. The wording sounds like it's for applicants who have received AIP - the first part of the Inland application.

My outland sponsorship said exactly the same thing.

If it's for both that would be sweet! We could move as soon as our house was sold if we wanted then!
I wonder how you get in then if it's outland.
Yay! Good news. Okay, so my MIL wants to meet us at the border in early September, take us back to Peterborough, apply, and then voila! Should be okay. Baby would really need to come a couple weeks late then though... but my MIL did say that this other girl didn't have to wait three months, so I guess we'll risk it.
Should I tell the border people I'm visiting or moving? They'll bring most of our stuff up in July ahead of time... but my dog will be coming with us in Sept.

You're talking about
proof of citizenship, not the citizenship itself. Whether you have the citizenship certificate or not is a completely separate issue from whether you are actually a citizen.
