Yeah. We are going to work towards getting our own place from the get go. Staying with family is not a comfotable arrangement! My uncle who lives there said we can find a place in Edmonton within a few weeks.

I want to update that I got a response to the email that I sent Alberta health, in the hopes it can help someone who was as worried as I was. My conclusion is: if you are planning to spend at least a year there and you provide a full application in the first three months, you're eligible for...

No worries!! I'm grateful to your and Canuck's help. It's so difficult to untangle this stuff and we must base major life decisions on it; all help is appreciated!! I'll probably call again on Monday and put another agent to the test, but it's looking like eligibility is not going to be a...

We landed in British Columbia in Nov 2018, stayed for a short trip in different cities and then left. We didn't apply for any health insurance. In the summer of 2019, we went back for another short visit to Canada, but again didn't apply for any health insurance. We have been planning to...
