I can give you some numbers
If you are not covered by Provincial Health Insurance and also not by any Private Health Insurance, then you will be required to pay two types of fees.
This is for Nova Scotia
1. doctors fees which will vary between $30~$350 depending on the specialization or procedure (eg C-Section)
3. Hospital fees varies between $50~$3500.
On day room charges is $3250~$3500
You don't have to pay all the money in advance. If you have already established credit history in Canada, then hospital might accept payment in installments.
In our case, it was C-Section means staying in hospital for about 3 days. Total expenses worked out was abo. $20K.
Please call OHIP to check the coverage and then called the accounts and receivable section of the Hospital to check the actual expenses.
I have a complete list of expenses, if you need let me know.
Hi,
I thank you all for the time you had to advice me. I am just still wondering how will any body know that we left for that amount of time! especially when i get the " just go and no body will notice you" Advice, plus the fact that my wife,s OHIP card is valid to 2012. Not to mention that some one who landed and stayed for six months then travelled back home for two years and came back applying for the citizinship after six month. I hate to say that but every system has it,s downs.
Any way i am not taking any decision regarding it so far, still doing my research , sending E-mails and making calls.
For Saskatchewan province, the bonjour.gov.sk.ca says: "As a general rule, coverage will begin on the first day of the third calendar month following the date you established residency here. "
And not from the first day of re-landing in SK.
any other ideas or thoughts sharing will be hightly appreciated.

Firstly it's your conscious that should tell you that you're breaking the law.
Inspite of that if you still insist on using her OHIP card, we do have something called as Canada Immigrations that records your entry / exit dates. Every possibility that OHIP will get details from there.I know some will argue that they are different levels of Government, one is Federal while the other is Provincial, but you never know.
I do work for the Provincial Govt. and I know that the Provincial Govt. does share info with the RCMP & CIC. So if it goes one way, I'm sure it must be going the other way too.

It is not a matter of insisting, it is just what is legally, morally right.
i spoke earlier about the system,s setbacks, dose,nt mean i will use them even if i know how, i was just trying to get a solution for the situation i am facing using the ideas of partners in here and i just mentioned those who get away with things, and i am pretty sure some of us know some thing about that.
Any way I have got a final answer from a settlement worker, and we are just waiting for the Gync. ,s report.
Thank you every one.

Hi,
Just an HONEST advice
In Canada, all departments like CIC, CRA, Health share information about individuals
So even if you tell OHIP that you are in Canada & ask them for all benefits,
they will ask you to prove
As they have all records when you EXIT & when you ENTER
Do not take a risk. Once you are in BAD books with any Government department, you will be in trouble
Can I ask you one question -
what so FANCY & Crazy thing about getting baby born in Canada ?
What is more important is - care for baby & mother during & after pregnancy
I don't know how many friends & relatives you have in Canada
EMOTIONAL support is very important during that stage, which is really missing in Canada
Maximum time mother & child will be discharge from hospital within 24 hours
and then you are on your own
Still if you want to take a risk & ready to spent $3000-5000, go ahead
I went through almost similar situation 3-4 yaers back
Thanks for some nice suggestion from CD's as well as seniors in Canada, we took a decision to ahve delivery in India
Everything went on nice, baby born in India, brought her on Visit Visa within 3 months ( we already had PR before), applied for PR after coming to Canada, received PR for baby within 6-8 months, now we are almost getting Canadian Citizenship very soon
Rest is YOUR's DECISION
All the Best !

I am sorry to say but I find the attitude of newcomers on the site disgusting who for one ask about work arounds 'both legally and/or morally ' .... The basic fact that you have not lived here and wish to visit for delivery purposes shows upon you purpose ...
And then after seeking advices and sending pms to members , you did not even bother to share the settlement worker's advice with prospective readers .
Disgusting selfish attitude
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Fido.
Hope you have given complete information to your settlement worker. All the provincial,federal and municipal offices share the information.
If canadian government can give you back a dollar saying you overpaid it..they will/can also bill you for a dollar or less. This is just to quote they are prompt in their shoes and expect you to be too.
Shriya.
