Health Card for Baby/New Comer

[handsup]

Hello senior members, need a little help.
I am going to Saskatchewan province with my 2 years old baby on family class sponsorship visa. I know it takes little longer to get health card.
Is there any possible way/ temporary health card like thing that I may avail?

I just landed and went to get my health insurance card and my health benefit kicks in right away.

I am in MB so might be different from Saskatchewan.
