Social (29 Shares) Healthcare in Canada is publicly funded. Canadiancitizens and permanent residents may apply for public health insurance forCanada from their province or territory. It ensures you don't have to pay for most healthcare services, as the costs are covered by general taxation.

You can apply immediately.

The undertaking refers to social assistance / welfare payments (not health care). If you take these within the first three years, your wife will have to pay them back to the government.

You can apply for your health card but you can only avail it after 3 months of becoming Permanent Resident. There is a 3 months gap period for every new applicant.
