hey there, thank you for the reply
I must notify that I already have a SIN number and a SIN card . Can it be helpful for me?
Given your cancer history will you need follow-up care or monitoring for the next 2.5 years? If so that will likely come out of pocket. Without a valid PR card you won’t be able to get a health card in most provinces. Will take around 2.5 years before you are able to receive one if you enter without being reported. If you have ongoing health issues PRTD based on H&C may be best because if approved you would be able to get a valid health card much faster and be able to apply for a PR card on arrival. Of course there is a risk of denial but it’s unclear whether access to healthcare is important.
