Right, once you have a Social Insurance Number (SIN0 you are eligible, and you get this by having a permanent residency visa, work visa, some student visa's, etc. Otherwise, no.
I am living here on a visitor visa awaiting permanent residency, and do not qualify.

Legal residency is required. So if you settle in Canada, and become a taxpayer, you will be eligible to enroll in the system.

Landed immigrants and persons granted asylum become eligible after 6 months.
