My husband and I are not yet pregnant but trying to plan for that. I would appreciate your insight!

I have applied for AOS and have received my permit to leave the country and return - Advance Parole. I am a Canadian citizen. Can I return to Canada for a month or so to have my baby - to avoid big medical bills, and then return to the US with the baby's birth certificate. Then my husband, an American citizen report a child born abroad?

Has anyone done this or know more of the stipulations?

Thanks!!

No because you lose your Canadian health benefits when you moved to the USA. No free healthcare in Canada anymore.

Your I-129f was approved in 5 days from your NOA1 date.

Your interview took 67 days from your I-129F NOA1 date.

AOS was approved in 2 months and 8 days without interview.

ROC was approved in 3 months and 2 days without interview.

Provincial healthcare is based on residency. If you are not a resident you do not qualify for it's use.

As noted, being a resident of the province is what entitles you to provincial healthcare and you're now a resident of the United States. Even for Canadians returning to live in Canada (a few folks on here have done it) there is a waiting period (3 months in most provinces I think) until you can get back into Provincial healthcare.

And no - one cannot return to Canada for 3 months before having the baby just to be eligible......you cannot claim to be a resident of Canada to get healthcare but be Adjusting status to PR in the US and indicating you're a resident here.

Good luck
