Best tips on how to move to Canada

7. Healthcare

Canada has an excellent healthcare system that is publicly-funded system and is mostly free to citizens who are issued a health card by the Provincial Ministry of Health. As a permanent resident, you are entitled to access medical cover within the province you are living. Temporary residents and visitors should obtain a private health insurance policy to ensure adequate cover until being eligible for the government’s medical aid.

8. Driving licenses

Canada uses the right-hand side driving system. There are provincial rules regarding the use of international driving licenses so it’s advisable to check your region’s regulations beforehand. In some cases, you may be able to convert your current driver’s license if you have the correct paperwork. This process is not straight forward due to the fact that individual provinces have their own requirements as it’s not overseen by the federal government.
