Yes, health insurance with a work permit in Canada is possible. Depending on your circumstances, there are a few options available.
If you are a temporary foreign worker, you may be eligible for coverage through the Interim Federal Health Program, which provides temporary health insurance. This insurance covers essential health care services while you are a temporary foreign worker in Canada. However, it does not cover services like prescription drugs, dental care, or vision care.
Alternatively, you may also be eligible for a private Health Insurance plan through your employer, or through an insurance provider in Canada. Private insurance plans will typically provide more comprehensive coverage than the Interim Federal Health Program.
Finally, you may be eligible to apply for coverage under a Provincial Health Insurance Plan. Each province and territory in Canada has their own health insurance plan. Generally speaking, international students and temporary workers are eligible for health insurance coverage under these Plans.
No matter which option you decide to pursue, it is important to make sure that you have adequate health insurance coverage while living in Canada. Without it, you may be responsible for covering all medical costs related to your treatment.
