When moving from one province to another, you must apply for your Health
Card as soon as possible, as most provinces or territorial government have a
three month waiting period to qualify. Having a Health Card will give you access
to insured health care services in your new province or territory.

The following provincial and territorial web sites will give you details about
application procedures:
