Do I Get The Same Benefits If I Become A Legal Citizen Of Canada?

Question

Health Care is free and a number of other things, And I have to move there soon..... I want to know if me and my family will have access to this.......

Answer 1

After you have lived in the same province for 90 days you will usually get your health coverage. You don't need to be a citizen, landed immigrant status will be OK. If you move to another province you may have to wait for 90 days until you are covered.

Answer 2

Health care is not really free. We pay a health tax which is deducted by the employer. This is in Ontario.

Other provinces has something similar.

There is no free lunch in Canada.
