There is a 3 month wait period until you get healthcare in Ontario. Once you have been working full-time for 6 months you qualify for OHIP. Then you would have to wait 3 months. You should consider purchasing emergency medical coverage until you get OHIP. Right now you would have to pay for any healthcare you receive.
