If your wife's condition is not diagnosed as an emergency or she is not in a critical condition, be mentally prepared to be put into queues with backlogs of 1-2 years in the surgery wait list.
Something to keep in mind: First three months in Toronto - you wont be covered by OHIP.
Polip is a very technical medical term (google did not tell me much). Please check with your doctor about the effect of severe winters.

Thanx for your quick response.My wife is not in a critical condition.She can wait for surgery.But what would be the approximate cost difference of surgery in compare to India.Actualy polip is medical term.Polip is the extension of skin inside the nose,which swallow during the weather change or due to some allergy(polution is main cause ) and sometime due to cold the mucas formation takes place inside the nose ,due to which the nose get blocked. Your advice please.

Your advice please.
If you are a PR, and have passed the first three months in Canada, you will not pay a single cent for the operation charges.
Regarding polip, I am sorry I cant help you with that, I am not a doctor.

Thanx. I hope this free charges for any type of operation .Please let me know the medical procedure in details.
As mentioned in previous posts, you will have to get private medical insurance for your family for three months. After that Ontario provincial health insurance Plan (OHIP) will cover your family. You need to find a family doctor right away. He has to refer you to a hospital for surgery. I dont know the waiting list or times. The OHIP will cover all charges (including stay and food at the hospital). If your annual income in canada is below ~ 25 K, you dont pay the newly introduced OHIP premium.
