Default From UK to Canada life time medication//thyroid

Ive got under active thyroid and I need to take a medication For the rest of my life. It's free in UK but if we move to Canada would my work private insurance will cover the cost of prescription? Are there any medication that healthcare cover the cost of prescription?

It's possible that if you get healthcare cover via work, that will cover your prescriptions. Do you have a job lined up already? If so, you'd need to check with your employer to see exactly what's covered under their scheme.

HTH.

My wife has the same condition and I asked pretty much the same question recently with some very helpful responses that clarified the position. That thread is here:
