Health coverage is due to residency, not citizenship. There is a lot of health care / insurance info in the Wiki area. See the ^Blue Bar^ Travel insurance wont cover you. You arent travelling, you are taking up residence. |

Ah good news thanks, good to see that Alberta health care is similar to NHS in terms of coverage
If you don't have coverage for the drugs and ambulance through an employer this might be your next best option. http://www.health.alberta.ca/AHCIP/drugs-non-group.html dental or eye care coverage not included I don't think. |

Not quite the same. You will need supplemental coverage for drugs, ambulance, eye care and dental coverage.
