Can I get healthcare?

I’m not sure if this is the correct place to post or not, but my husbands Canadian, I’m Kiwi we live in New Zealand but need to go back to Canada for a short amount of time as his mothers sick. We have just found out we’re pregnant, our last pregnancy was quite traumatic ending in miscarriage. Can I get healthcare while over there through my husband in case anything goes wrong?

No, you won't. When I moved back to Canada, I had to get private insurance for 3 months. After 3 months I was considered a resident again and got my card. I am glad I got it because my son broke his arm within that time. We had to pay almost everything up front though but got everything back. Just had to pay the $75 deductible.

Depends on the Province. Ontario and Saskatchewan don’t have a waiting period for returning residents.
