Question We are going to be students in the US this coming year and will be having a baby while we are there. Does the Canadian government cover the cost of delivering out there or do we need to buy insurance or come home to deliver.
Answer Certainly NOT the Canadian government. However, your provincial health plan MIGHT. Suggest you check with them since each provincial scheme has slightly different rules concerning what is and what is not covered. If it was me (well, my spouse actually) we would arrange to be in Canada at time baby is due.
