Dear administrator,

I am very sorry about these looking difficult to answer.

I will go to U of Calgary as a Post-Doctoral position this August. I have been in California, US for 4 years and I have several questions about living situations in Calgary.

First of all, the professor sponsoring my working visa said "Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan". Because my wife is in pregnant and expect a baby this October, I was wondering if the plan can fully cover all processes of prenatal and birth.

And, I have a car made in Chrysler. I wonder if I can drive it into Calgary and can use it continuously. If that's the case, what processes will be required?

Last question is about the car insurance. Is a driving experience in US considered in Canada? If yes, what documents will be handed in to show the experiences?

I appreciate your helps in advance.
