Temp Worker to PR - Health Coverage in BC
 
Hi all

Sorry if this has been answered before but I did a search and couldn't find the answer. If you go from a temporary work visa to a permanent resident in BC does the 3 month waiting period (to be eligible for medical coverage) apply again?

Thanks for any replies :thumbup:

Nope, the 3month is for new residents only. Once you get PR you fax the documents to MSP right away and you will receive a CareCard with no expiry date.

Same for me, I had no break in coverage. My MSP Number didn't change either, the just expiry date was removed
