How do new immigrants in Canada apply for medical insurance cards?

The medical insurance card is used to enjoy free medical insurance. You need to get a SIN card (work card) before applying. Moreover, the Canadian government stipulates that new immigrants cannot begin to enjoy medical insurance until three months after they arrive in Canada. Medical insurance in Canada is different. Basically, it is used for free medical treatment, hospitalization and examination, but you must buy medicine and see a dentist at your own expense. But you can also buy this insurance yourself, and sometimes the company will buy it for you. The Canadian government buys such insurance for children from low-income families.

New immigrants should apply for health cards as soon as possible after landing in Canada. The medical insurance plan takes the family as the unit, including the applicant, his spouse and children. Therefore, it is best for the family to apply together.

All materials should be prepared before application, including the applicant's passport, original and photocopy of immigrant visa, social insurance card, residence certificate in the province and home mailing address. After preparing the information, get the form from the medical insurance plan office where you live. After you fill it out, attach all the information and give it to the staff in the office. They will send the medical card directly to the address you left. After receiving the medical card, you need to sign it, and you need to carry it with you every time you go to the hospital or clinic.
