Health Insurance

Consider your options for health insurance to keep yourself safe and healthy while living and working in Canada. It is important to arrive in Canada with private health insurance, however, you may be eligible to apply for the public health insurance program in your province or territory of residence depending on the length of time you will be living and working in Canada.
