Eligible age for private insurance coverage starts at 15 days old.
Can a pregnant Visitor to Canada get a Pregnancy insurance supplement that will cover pre-natal care?
If you are already pregnant and not eligible to receive the provincial health care plan, you can only apply for the travel pregnancy complications insurance which is provided by Manulife.

This policy covers standard medical emergencies for Visitors to Canada as well as providing comprehensive pregnancy insurance for complications including bleeding, premature birth, miscarriage and abdominal pain up to the 31st week of the pregnancy period.

Unfortunately, pregnant visitors to Canada are not covered for delivery or pre-natal care.

I am a Foreign Worker / New Immigrant / Returning Canadian, who is currently pregnant, but there is a waiting period of about 90 days before my provincial health coverage kicks in, do I have any options for pregnancy coverage?
Yes, you do. It is recommended that you purchase short term health insurance for pregnancy complications in Canada which is provided by Manulife. This insurance policy will also protect your money from other costs of medical emergencies that may happen while awaiting your government health care plan.
