Hi,

As healthcare is very expensive in canada, if you and family need medicare during the 3 months period, the option of going for a private insurance is better for 3 months. You can look for temperory medical insurance and there are several insurance companies offerring such insurance coverage with different rates of premiums. You can study and choose a convenient one if you prefer.
