I'm travelling to calgary shortly. Should i take health insurance with me from my country or how soon do i get health insurance from Alberta state? I read somewhere that in Ontario it takes 3-months to get health insurance whereas in Calgary(Alberta state)one gets it the very next day. Is it true. I need some valuable answers from Seniors or from the person who have already moved to Calgary.
Thanks
Regards,
FD.

Dear Kanamen,
Many Thanks to you for your prompt reply. Very much appreciated your prompt reply. I and my dependents are moving to Calgary very shortly. My major concern was regarding the health insurance.
Thanks once again.

Dear Kanamen,
Also i wanted confirmation from you whether it applies for Provincial or Federal. I got my PR through federal skilled worker category. The link which you provided says that if a person got his PR in Alberta and is moving to Alberta from outside canada, his coverage begins the very next day. But I belongs to Federal Skilled Worker category.
Please confirm.
