HI Group,
> I have recently been accepted as a canadian immigrant and have got my visa´s stamped. Now I am 2 months pregnant, my questions are as following:
1). Do I have to intimate the CIC about the same.
2). Once I land in Canada, am I automatically elligible for the medical facilities that are granted to the PR´s from the government. Are the facilities well equipped and does one have to shelve out a lot of cash for the same....Anyone with adequate knowledge may please help us with the query.....Thanking you.

First of all Congrats...
Now in Canada the basic medical facilities are taken care of.
But as a recent immigration, You have to wait for a period of three months before all you can use the medical facilities from the Govt.
Hospitals will cover basic accomodation (semi-private rooms), doctors fees and stuff like that... You still have to shell out the $$$ for medicines and anything if you need.
Regarding informing about your status to CIC. Dont worry about it.. just land in Canada and continue as normal...

Previous writer is right , you have to wait for 3 months to get the health insurence . But you can get private insurence . But the main problem is to get a family physician . I also faced that problem when i came in Canada. Normally first 4/5 months you need to have a family physician . Then he/she will refer you to obs . Here you will find some walk in clinic . You also can go and see a doctor if you have any problems . But first 3 months you need to pay them .

Thanks Mim (in reply to: Medicals facilities in Canada)
Thanks Mim for your prompt reply on the topic, I was interested to know what happens after the 3 months period, do you get complete governement medical care (free) after 3 months of stay. And how good/bad are the government medical facilities? Thanking you once again.
