[At the border] Insurance

[vsenicourt]

Hello again ! Another "at the border" topic (please feel free to redirect me to any existing one)

I will enter the country as a new permanent resident on next tuesday.

I am about to buy an insurance contract (health + civil responsibility) for a duration of 3 months, which is the delay until I can benefit from the canadian healthcare in my province.
This insurance contract is extendable if needed (e.g I can make it run for a couple extra months).

What do immigration agents require at the border, when entering the country for the first time?
Is being insured for 3 months and showing the related paperwork enough?

Thank you !

Out of interest who told you it was a requirement to show insurance when doing an initial PR landing ?

Actually, upon reading the document I was given by CIC it does not say I have to show insurance.
It tells me to be careful and that I should really be insured.

For other visas however, people have been required to show they were insured for the duration of their visa.

So maybe it's not necessary for me after all to show the agent anything.
