Depends on the province. Here's what it covers for Ontario:

Use google to find out what is covered for other provinces.

Going to the doctor is covered, operations in hospital are covered if they are medically necessary.

Ambulance, dentist and medication, not covered.

However, many employers offer a group insurance where you pay a bit but in return, you will also get coverage for dental and medication to some degree.

I think I will be moving to AB. Is it similar to that of Ontario.

Yes, all of the provinces are similar in what they cover. As a new PR, you will however be covered in AB right away while in Ontario, you would have a 3 month waiting period.
