They rule of thumb for residing somewhere tends to be 6 months a year so if it's more than 6 months since he left Ontario, they will most likely treat him as a returning resident and give him first day health care as opposed to a person moving to AB from Ontario who would have a waiting period.

However, if you want to make sure, you can call AB health at 00-1-780-427-1432 and ask.
