Insurance for new permanent residents to Ontario, Canada
Hi all,
Just wanted to give you a heads up as I see there is quite a few people being granted Visa's and/or about to get their Visa's in the next couple of months.
In Ontario, you do not get a health card until you have been in the province for 90 days. Therefor it's a great idea to get health insurance for your spouse and for my case, child. It's peace of mind that I have this. I know how fast life and health can change without planning it and it's great to be prepared.
I got a policy from Manual life- 1-800-cover-me. They have different policy's. I got the $50, 000 policy for $213.00. (that's my personal choice) for our daughter. I had to pay this with a credit card.
The Visa process is an expensive one...from trips back and forth, airfare, phone bills etc. I just wanted you to keep in mind just another expense, but one that could keep you from filing bankruptsy if someone falls ill, that you are covered.
Salud,
Sandy
