Obtaining health insurance cards from outside of Canada

[1978bubun]

I did my landing for my Canadian permanent residency a year back and then came back to USA. Now I am planning to relocate to Canada. But last time I forgot to apply for the health insurance cards.

Is there a way I could apply it from USA? I don't want to travel to Canada without a health insurance. What is the best way for me to receive it before relocating fully?

Experts, any help would be greatly appreciated.

1. No, you are probably not eligible for provincial health care, you have to be resident. Most will have a 3 month waiting period to be eligible, so you will need private insurance for those 3 months.
