BC MSP possible retroactive payments?

Hi, first time poster, long time reader.

Recently I received my BC PNP and settled on actually staying in Vancouver. I came here July 2013 on an IEC visa and came with travel insurance as per the requirements of the visa when you apply. My travel insurance went up in July so I bought new coverage to get me through until the end of the year.

I was on implied status up until recently and now have a new work permit, and applying through EE also for residency etc.

My job offer benefits as an extension of MSP, and as I am now staying in BC, I want to apply for MSP ( I already called and know the form to fill out etc along with other documents).

My concern is, one of my co-workers said they could apply a retroactive payment as I have been in BC for a while, even though I was covered with my travel insurance etc.

Does anyone have any additional information regarding this?

Thanks
