We haven't arrived in B.C. yet, but so far our only complaint is that Canada has a rule where you cannot access their National Healthcare plan for 3 months after moving there. This is the case for immigrants (that would be us) or even nationals that move from province to province (they'd have to go to doctors in their old province for 3 months). Of course, this makes me crazy considering we have a newborn - one that needs vaccinations. Unfortunately, my Pfizer insurance does us no good over the border. We had to buy private insurance for the 3 months and that solves the problem.
I found this website very useful -
Let's see how we adjust to National Healthcare...the insurance guy on the phone was laughing at all of Melvin's nervous questions about referrals, prescriptions and access to any doctor, etc. so maybe that's a good sign.
I'll keep you updated!
