You will be a "permanent resident." The federal government sets health-care standards for the whole country, but the programs are run by the provincial ministries of health. British Columbia, Ontario, Quebec and New Brunswick have a three-month waiting period before you become eligible for medicare coverage. If you are planning to settle in any of these provinces, you should buy private health insurance coverage for the first three months. Insurance companies are listed in the Yellow Pages of all Canadian telephone books, under "Insurance." Bring a supply of your medications with you to allow you time to find a family doctor in Canada from whom you will have to get new prescriptions.
