Health coverage

Register with the health plan in the province or territory where you live.

Check local eligibility

Public health coverage is administered provincially and territorially. Apply to the relevant plan, check the start date and understand which services are excluded.

Plan for gaps

Ask the health plan about waiting periods and coverage during travel. Compare any temporary coverage against your actual needs and exclusions. Keep emergency contacts handy.
