Getting Covered

Public health insurance is provincial — here's how to get it.
Getting your provincial health card
Each province/territory runs its own plan (OHIP, MSP, RAMQ, AHCIP…). How to apply and the documents you need.
The waiting period and interim insurance
Some provinces make new residents wait up to 3 months for coverage — bridge the gap with private insurance.
Health coverage when you move to another province
Your old province keeps covering you for a transition period (usually up to 3 months) — but you must apply to the new plan right away.
