If you are a Super Visa applicant, Visitor, IEC / Working Holiday visa holder or a new immigrant- you probably need to obtain insurance coverage from a Canadian Insurance company. To make it easier for you we have put together a comparison among all insurance companies in terms of affordability, reliability and benefits offered.

Government Health Plan: Waiting Period Explanation 

 

Excited to start your new life in Canada? Or returning home after a long time abroad? Your bags are packed and tickets booked but is there something missing?

Whether you are landing in Ontario, British Columbia, Quebec or New Brunswick- in most cases you will have to wait until provincial coverage kicks in. Make sure you familiarize yourself with those limitations and the ways to protect yourself during your stay. During the waiting period, you may be able to purchase private health insurance through a private insurance company if you meet the company’s eligibility requirements. 

OHIP – Ontario

The waiting period begins on the date you establish or re-establish residence in Ontario. If you are an eligible temporary resident, such as a foreign worker who meets the citizenship and residence requirements described in Ontario’s Health Insurance Act, the waiting period begins on the date you establish residence in Ontario.

 MSP – British Columbia

New residents or persons re-establishing residence in B.C. are eligible for coverage after completing a wait period that normally consists of the balance of the month of arrival plus two months. For example, if an eligible person arrives during the month of July, coverage is available October 1. If absences from Canada exceed a total of 30 days during the wait period, eligibility for coverage may be affected.

New Brunswick and Quebec

Generally speaking, if you arrive in Québec from outside Canada, even if you are a Canadian citizen, you will be eligible for the Québec Health Insurance Plan after a waiting period of up to 3 months following your registration.

You will not be reimbursed for healthcare you receive during the waiting period. To save you from having to pay for any healthcare services that you or your family members may need, it is strongly recommended that you take out private insurance within 5 days following your arrival in Québec. Thereafter, coverage is more difficult to obtain.

Does my provincial health insurance plan cover all my health care needs? Millions of Canadians who don’t have an employer sponsored group plans might be asking the same questions. Here is some brief information on the Health care system in Canada.

Canadian health care system consists of multiple tiers. The first thing that comes to mind is Government Health Care. It is funded through general tax revenue and in some provinces- by means of collecting monthly premiums.
