Re: Interim medical insurance
I was wondering the same thing. That Wiki page is a bit old (last updated 2012) and some of the links are broken. Does anybody have some more recent recommendations / experiences?

Re: Interim medical insurance
Depends which province you are going to. Unless things have changed you get it immediately in NS whereas you have to wait three months in Ontario.

Re: Interim medical insurance
We're in alberta on temp work permits and got given ours straight away. - though we also had my husband's Blue Cross employment insurance kick in straight away too- so we didn't bother with insurance to be honest.
