I'm new here and have read ALL 39 pages!! Well done to everyone who has contributed to this helpful thread and God bless all those who keep coming back to provide more answers and insights - Hotstepper & co.

I have a few questions which have not yet been asked here:

-I already have a visa from a while back and I intend to travel at 28 weeks. Since I will be there early, I will likely need a number of hospital/doctor visits for antenatal care before delivery. How have others accessed antenatal care? And what are the costs?

- Once baby is born, what other costs do you incur for immunizations etc. if you plan to remain in Canada for at least 6 weeks.

-Hotstepper mentioned that Montreal POE is tougher than other cities? Could you please elaborate and advise? I will be going to Montreal.

I look forward to sharing my experience and costs breakdown when it's all over
