First get the Health card. Then register for family physician. FP will help you select hospital and gynaecologist. Visit gyne as per schedule. When the date comes, go to hospital and deliver.
Assume you will be remaining in Canada for over 6 months? There are residency rules for OHIP of you can be asked to pay back all the healthcare services you have used. Yes 3 month is still waived but won't be waived forever.
Thanks could you let me know if we can contact the hospitals before landing to get the rates, appointment and all details in order to avoid any last minute rush?
We both are PR holders did soft landing last year.
So unless things change by January you will have OHIP. You can try to call around to find a GP but you'll have plenty of time to do this during your 2 weeks in quaratine. Your GP will usually have some idea what OBs are accepting patients are your OB has privileges in certain hospitals so he/she will tell you where to deliver. Due to covid spouses are not allowed in most appoiNTments. You are currently still allowed one person in the labour and delivery room. Would warn you that you don't quality for maternity leave payments because you never worked in Canada. Given covid it may tough finding jobs so I would make sure you have a decent amount of savngs in case your spouse remains unemployed for 6+ months. Daycare can be tough to find is expensive, although these are strange times so demand may have changed, I would start looking for daycare and put yourself on some waiting list if/when you plan to return to work.
