My application was received on June 4, 2021 (Sydney, NS). I did my test in mid-February. Today I was just randomly checking the online tracker and found that my status had changed to completed but also I had a date set for the Oath Ceremony on April 21. However, I don't have an email with the...

Hi like @canuck78 said, it is effective from the date of landing in Nova Scotia but they need to see a rental agreement or a lease copy to prove that you intend to stay in the province. If you have that proof, you can get your card the same day. Best of luck with your move. :)

Thank you so much @NetMecca. This is super helpful and I hoping for a smooth transition. Just one day more for me.

Happy Weekend Everybody. Does anyone know how long it takes to receive the Novascotia Medical Insurance card? I applying for my temporary insurance with Manulife and I wonder if 60days is sufficient and if the Medical card will have been received by then. @NetMecca Any suggestions for a good...
