BC Health Card (expired NS Card)

[Earth2Mars]

Hi.

Short story: I landed with my parents in Nova Scotia when I was 9 and then left with parents back to my home country while still a child. I have my Nova Scotia health card and obviously expired.

I am back to Canada as an adult and settled in BC.
When applying online on my.gov.bc.ca,
I get two options. PR moving from outside Canada and PR moving from a province in Canada.
I am not sure which one applies to me in this case.

Any idea?

Thank you

Where did you live before you moved to BC?

You are PR coming from another country. You haven't had a health card for 20 yers almost. You need to get a PR card first. Believe that BC requires you to show a valid PR card to get coverage. You could try showing your appeal from your H&C denial. You won't be able to do this online probably.

Outside Canada.

So why are you confused?

I have my old expired health card from Nova Scotia, although been 20 years, am I technically from another province ?

You haven't lived there for 20 years. They mean where have you lived right before you have come from BC.
