I just contacted health insurance BC. I heard that although they have a waiting time of 3 months, there is no waiting time for new permanent residents moving from overseas. One can apply online and they evaluate your application on the 1st of the month. Whatever little time it takes to get...

The $2,000 per person doesn't make any sense at all if two people are staying in the same room.

I am actually hearing that provinces are giving health insurance coverage from day 1 rather than after 3 months due to the covid situation. Not sure if this is the case for BC as well.

Really appreciate your help. Thanks again!!!

Thanks a ton for your advice! I will actually be looking for a job and eventually settle down wherever I get one. So I may or may not move from BC. Is it a big hassle to shift insurance between provinces?

Hi everyone, I will be landing in BC this month (already completed first landing earlier). When can I expect to get the health insurance card? Do I apply only after arriving? If it takes time, I guess I should get health insurance beforehand from my country. Also, I am not sure where I will be...

Thank you. Yes, it is better to be prepared for the worst.

Yes, nothing decided yet, hope it remains this way. No, I obtained my COPR way back in 2017.

Hi, I am planning to land in Canada as a permanent resident on 26th Feb. as per the latest information, non-essential travelers need to quarantine in hotel for 3 days. Will I need to do the same as I think my travel is not non essential? I did my short landing 3 years ago.

Thank you all! I am glad to let you all know that I will be most likely be moving to Canada this February. Will be doing work from home for my existing company for the next 6 months for now. Let's see how it goes eventually.

Sorry. My bad. I got PR approved in 2017 but completed my soft landing in April 2018. So I believe I have time till April 2021.

I did a soft landing in April 2018...was there for 3 days.

Thank you again. Yes, it has got very complicated, complicated to the point that I am now thinking of just giving it up rather than going through these scenarios as it involves my employment as well. If I am reported, I can file an appeal and during that period, I can still go in and out. If the...

Hello everyone. I am highly grateful to you all for your sincere advice. Also apologize for the delay in my response. I agree that I could have entered Canada before Covid happened but I was trying to move after I have a job in hand and this took away the initial years without any success and...

Hi everyone, hope you all are keeping safe. I got my PR in 2017 (did a short landing). I was planning to move to Canada this year but had to abandon the plan due to the COVID situation. I am trying to enter again but have just a few months remaining based on my residency requirement and it is...
