In Ontario no. There is a waiting period of 3 months before you qualify for it.

Some provinces have a THREE month waiting period so that might be a problem.
Where are you landing?
Ontario has a three month wait.

Good luck

In Ontario, British Columbia, New Brunswick and Quebec, there is a three-month waiting period before you become eligible for medicare coverage. If you are immigrating to any of these provinces, you should get private, short-term health-care insurance for the the first three months. Insurance companies are listed in the Yellow Pages of all Canadian telephone books, under "Insurance"

To everyone: Thank you very much for the informations. May God continue to reward your goodness.

Our destinaton is Ontario, so that means a 3 month waiting period.

Departure Bay, what is a bridge insurance? Does it cover delivery ? How much more or less does the insurance cost ?
