  Hello Roy, I have very urgent questions to resolve,please help.

I landed in Toronto on 21st evening as new immigrant along with my wife and six months old son. My wife and infant got fever during long journey from India and needs urgent medical care.As there is 3 months wait for OHIP card, how can I buy health insurance for short term which will cover atleast infant health expenses and vaccination?

Thanks

Purchase private health insurance through a company such as Blue Cross. It will cover your medical expenses including any necessary prescriptions.

Blue Cross is very inexpensive. We paid about $200 per month for our family of 3.

Hope this helps, and hope your family is recovering. Welcome to Canada!

Hi Yuvraj,

I am also providing the emergency health insurance for the newcomers through Manulife insurance which is much more reputed than Bluecross and you may contact me either on my phone 416.412.0401 Ext. 304 or give me a mail on hemant.patil@sunlife.com.
