Re: 1 year working holiday visa and prescriptions

Okay, thanks for the information. It's cleared it up a bit.

Now I have to found out if they sell my medication (Azathioprine) in local pharmacies in British Columbia and Ontario because they...

Re: 1 year working holiday visa and prescriptions

Perhaps, but I don't think it's uncommon for people to buy Canadian health insurance so they don't run into problems such as paying for hospital bills and then having to contact the insurance...

Re: 1 year working holiday visa and prescriptions

I just did that exact search (IEC insurance) and read some forums, they all pointed me in the direction of Canadian health and travel insurance companies such as TIC, 21st century etc.

Re: 1 year working holiday visa and prescriptions

I don't think that's correct. I spoke to an adviser at a Canadian private health insurance firm that co-ordinates all of the health insurance companies, and they said to enter you have to definitely...

Re: 1 year working holiday visa and prescriptions

I had a look at the link, and the only problem is that many British insurance companies don't end up paying out as promised, and to enter Canada you need a Canadian insurance plan, not a UK one I...

Re: 1 year working holiday visa and prescriptions

Re: 1 year working holiday visa and prescriptions

Meaning? I think there's some confusion here. I wouldn't get normal private health insurance because I have a life time condition, which means I would get a specialist health insurance to enter the...

Re: 1 year working holiday visa and prescriptions

Re: 1 year working holiday visa and prescriptions
