Canada's publicly funded healthcare system (Medicare) is available to all Canadian citizens and permanent residents who meet provincial residency requirements. To be eligible, individuals must reside in their province or territory for a specified statutory period (typically up to three months upon initial arrival) and register for a provincial health insurance card. Temporary foreign workers, international students, and tourist visitors are generally ineligible for permanent public healthcare coverage, though specific exceptions or waiting period rules apply depending on regional laws.
