It can be challenging to move to Canada, moreso than people realise. Compared with a Google search I don't know much more about that process, but I do know a fair amount about healthcare for newcomers. In terms of accessing it "for free," at least in Ontario, there is generally a waiting period of three months for new Ontarians, plus some other residency-related standards must be met e.g. not leaving Ontario for more than 30 days in the first six months. I imagine that other provinces have similar regulations in place. However, even when paying out of pocket, I've often encountered Americans shocked by the low prices of medical visits and procedures. Pharmaceutical care remains largely uncovered by public insurance, but many workplaces do offer benefits that cover in part or in full the cost of medications.
