Pregnancy Coverage
for Visitors to Canada

Depending on your eligibility for a certain pregnancy health care insurance product, you may receive different benefits.

You can select whether or not you are currently pregnant on this page to learn more about the available maternity insurance options.

According to the Policy Wordings from the Canadian insurance providers of pregnancy-related emergency coverage, it is not considered a pre-existing condition.

However, if you have had a complication related to your pregnancy, then such complication is considered a pre-existing medical condition, to which standard stability period requirements will apply depending on the policy you select.

The cost for delivery or childbirth is determined by the hospital and the procedures needed to be done during the childbirth itself. If you have insurance that covers delivery partially, you will only be responsible to pay the remaining amount.

It is hard to say how much the average childbirth costs in Canada if you are not covered by any insurance, as prices range from $3,000 to over $15,000.

If you are a pregnant visitor to Canada and not eligible for Government health insurance, you can apply for private pregnancy complications insurance which is provided by Manulife.
