[@xsheebax]

Thank you so much for your continued support, love and questions guys! keep your questions coming. It is amazing especially when they can be answered via video to help even more people. :)

orchidsnlime Hello mam. I am coming to canada with student visa.Will i be able to give my next year fees including my rent & food by doing work there.I am 18 and Indian. Plz reply.

[@Shuv_The1]

orchidsnlime you are cutie..

[@ChildOfGod2238]

I would like to know too

[@myopinion3908]

Please don’t say it’s free as we pay through our taxes. Lots of employers have extra health benefits. My husband luckily has incredible benefits where everything is covered. You don’t wait for emergencies but you do wait for non emergencies. I’ve been on the Canadian medical system for 52 years and would never give it up. If you come to Canada as a student or for work for over 6 months some Provinces require you to get the healthcare system we have.

[@jp-im7kf]

Hey,I have one question for u & if u can answer it than it will be a great help for me.Imagine a situation that any patient is stuck in any severe pain but his case doesn't comes under emergency so now can doctor immediately reduces his pain or give him a appointment & leave him under a pain

[@ursulasmith6402]

Taxes, a walk in the park in comparison to Americans who lose their house over medical bills! Absurd!

[@michaelmccrea5031]

Canada does not have free Health care.. It is covered in taxes. And is administered by each province.

[@candicemelaku3637]

its called the CHT. WOW Thanks!!

[@noone7315]

Lets make this clear. If you really think that Canadas HealthCare system is good, go over there. Try it yourself. Compare it to the United States HealthCare, and speak for yourself.

[@PlanetLinuxChannel]

In Ontario, as of 2018, prescriptions are covered for people 24 and under and 64 and older.

[@ashleylaine6489]

In Ontario you can get print outs of your test results etc. if you ask, dental is covered until you are an adult and then when you become a senior.

[@brooklynginter4726]

In my province I use phamicare for medication. You pay for a deductible depending how much you earn then the rest is free for one year.

[@artina-v64]

your videos are always so helpful, planing to go to canada to study in 2 years i graduate from school

[@trabajosdehvacenusa7771]

In canada the waiting time weeks , months , or a year, in USA the waiting time is forever if you don’t have insurance, if you have insurance the waiting time is until you save the money to pay for coinsurance+deductible+20%of all cost( deductible is around 5000 to 10000 usa dollars, coins is 50 to 400 dollars , let say your medical bill is 50000 the 20% is 10000 so you gonna have to pay 10000+ 10000+ 400= 20400 i think will take you 15 years to save 20000 if you have wife and kids and less you have a house you can sell in order to get the money to pay the 20400$ this is the case if you have insurance if you don’t have insurance you can kiss good by health care, btw canadian system sucks too

[@AyumiKahrobaei]

I brought my father to the emergency room for sodium deficiency , You know how long we waited? 2 minutes. How much we need to pay? $13 for my parking fee.

[@AlexMartinez-fv7zw]

ayumi kahrobaei my dad went for minor chest pains and they took there damn time

[@pkabzik]

Thanks for the video. In a case of combination of OHIP and benefits - is it a good idea to go walk-in clinic to avoid waiting for an appointment for a long time? In other words what is the fastest way to get help if I have both plans? Cheers

[@durgaprasadkilani5652]

Hi your videos are so useful, please share a video about medical coding in Canada

[@theundead1600]

Great video. Come to the usa for dental I pay way less , and that's with cheapo insurance.

[@milohobo9186]

I didn't hear you comment on the mental health aspect of the Canadian healthcare system. Is mental health therapy covered? Thank you ahead of time for your reply.

[@xsheebax]

You know what, I am not actually sure. I know basic counselling is covered. But your best bet would be to check out the website in the description box to get more accurate information. I dont want to be giving out wrong information. Sorry about that.

[@mohamedamer6738]

Hi .. I wanted to ask you about health insurance .. Do pregnant women should wait without health insurance for 90 days .. Or there is an exception for delevering the baby and follow-up .. My question for the province of New Brunswick in particular .. Thank you

[@gillesguay7337]

Your comments are not accurate at all....sorry my dear

[@soad1996j]

Completely unrelated to this video's subject but.. how is it like for gay people in Canada? I have read nothing but nice things online but directly asking someone who lives there seems like a more reasonable thing to do. Thanks in advance!

[@xsheebax]

+Joaquin C thats an excellent question! A lot of my close friends in Canada are and have been gay. And I have to say; they live and express themselves very comfortably!! I went to the pride parade with them a few times too. This was in Ottawa and Toronto as well as Montreal. If you were asking for yourself, I dont doubt Canada will be more than welcoming to you! :))) hope that helps!

[@vanessaschimpf4937]

Does Canada have a safety net to cover prescription drugs?

[@Hannah-dw6ri]

your videos have helped me so much!! Thank you!! :)

[@kapzutube]

Hi, is it ok to pickup lots of medicines with us from India before coming to Canada on a PR? I hope Canadian government won't mind that. Plz suggest

[@UsmanKhan-gw7er]

Does OHIP cover angioplasty for aged 68?

[@jwhatever7610]

Yes

[@user-sr4po8vv4x]

thanks for that invaluable vlog, kindly from your point of view which is better Australian Medical care or Canadian medical care? Thanks in advance

Combined Insurance?

[@ychang6538]

Hi! Thank you for sharing this information! I want to ask since I'm new to Toronto is it possible for international students coming here for university find a family doctor?

[@babydaddy4257]

May i ask how your experience with Canadian healthcare turned? Im interested because you are not originally from there and have something to compare it to.

[@babydaddy4257]

@yifei chang

[@karlhans6678]

What's the point of having ibsurance when i can just to see the dentist each 1 to 2 years?

[@mythic_snake]

So if I were to come to Canada on a work permit, I would not qualify for Canada's healthcare? Did you qualify for healthcare under the type of stay that you are currently living under. If so, what is that?

[@maiconjunior2303]

Amy Kitchens good question. Did you ever find out the answer?

[@mhachey783]

Likely, you already found the answer, but in case you didn't here is my understanding. A temporary foreign workers who hold a valid work permit may be eligible for coverage. The worker must be employed full-time for an employer in the province for a minimum of 6 months. I would suggest contacting the ministry of health in the province you intend to work in for details.

[@mstrsandhu4950]

You would be covered via health card but instead of getting it for free you will have to pay sign up fee of $150 plus if u have goof employer they usually offer their own health card too I have both but I would suggest to invest 150 in health card too you never know what might help right ? Prescribed medicans sucks but still it is much cheaper than us prices as Canada regulates it's medical industry

[@videonautics]

Is rheumatoid artritis and its prescription drugs covered for international students?

[@xsheebax]

Thats a great question unfortunately I dont know the answer. You can email the health insurance company and ask them. Good luck!

[@rafaqatmehmood412]

💕Thank you so much orchidsnlime.So sweet 💝💝

You must stop with the nonsense. It took 3 years to get my right hip replaced in Canada and after moving to the US it took 8 weeks to replace the left hip.

[@StarlitSoul]

Hello, thank you for your videos… I was wondering if you have any knowledge of how the disable get help out there financially, and also what rent is like in Canada? I am sure it varies, but sort of an idea? Thanks in advance. 💗

[@ReturnJaguar]

so what if not have money as visitor or just got work permit

[@boydmerriman]

What I am seeing here is that if you live in one province, you get it free, but if you drive to another province, it is suddenly not "free" (paying $100). That is still in Canada. In the USA, you may be in one state, but suddenly find your self in another state (province if you will) and can cost you some. Still not free. Government has the right to say what is considered as "emergency" and what requires a specialist, like a dentist. Though an abscessed tooth can be dangerous to your health. So going to a private health care is far better, but only for the rich in Canada because there is nothing in between. In the USA, you have all ranges which makes it more affordable (though still not cheap, but you really don't want "cheap").

[@mhachey783]

In another Canadian province or territory, you will be covered for free for the same services covered by your province of origin. All you need is a valid health card. Depending on the province, you might have to pay a small nomimal fee which is more annoying than a hardship. Note that we can get health insurance in Canada to cover dental and eyecare costs. Why would anyone think that insurance is not available for parts not covered by the government? Of course, if you don't have private insurance paid by you or your workplace, this will come out of your pocket. Note that if an abscessed tooth is left untreated and the infection spreads, then you will be treated in a hospital for free because that would be considered an emergency.

[@gillesguay7337]

Boyd Merriman totally wrong my friend

[@kabouch]

what that move, when you knocked at the wall, means?

[@debasritaguha3325]

Hi I am planning to take a PR from Canada but before that I need to know about the medical health benefits of Canada. Will the Canadian Government provide me free benefits for consultation and drugs required to treat diabetes, high blood pressure and cholesterol?pls reply M your new subscriber and thanks once again for all the information that you share on youtube its really beneficial 👍

[@71dhb]

Don't forget to bring your own painkillers guys when you are taking out your 60 stitches in the RAW and oh yeah find someone to acompany you out the front entrance of the hospital building if you can't walk. Plus...if you are over 100 years old make sure you have enough money to pay an ambulance. 4th world country!!!

[@Eric-ye5yz]

I find it amazing we have to teach Americans that which is obvious.

[@mttzakr23]

We are really fucking retarded.....I mean look who our president is? I mean people In this country actually believe that a billionaire businessman is going to "work" for the American people and not his wallet, and his brand. I would gladly trade Steven Harper or Andrew Schreer for him. The Trumptards in our red states don't understand that low skilled manufacturing jobs are never coming back, and the only people who will benefit from this administration are going to continue to be the top 1%. Although I will say, Barack Obama also screwed the American people as well. He easily could have implemented serious reforms to our healthcare system with a democratic house and senate and choose not to because they are all bought Dems and Republicans. Universal healthcare will never happen for that reason because our politicians are bought by big pharma companies. But don't worry, we have plenty of money for wars if we need it.

[@williamhanson3812]

[@poutinepush7863]

Damn salty af

[@AllieSocks12]

@@williamhanson3812 Canada lets the poor Americans who can't afford healthcare insurance just move in and use their systems? Don't think so, the shitty reality is that most of these millions without healthcare are stuck right where they are.

The health care system in Canada is completely garbage. I've been diagnosed with something over 6 months ago and been waiting for test results for over that amount of time since it's backed up with people just with a sniffle. Was suppose to finally get the results this week but got cancelled cause the doctor is away. Now I've got to wait anther two months cause the doctor is completely booked up. Thanks a lot socialist healthcare.

No I brok my finger and they tokee me in right away and the services aren’t cheap shit dumbass

[@neodark414]

Hig Hog Really? I have a friend who lives near Toronto. Recently broke his wrist in a bike accident. He went to the emergency room and waited for 11 hours until he could no longer stand the pain. He went to a paid clinic which ended up charging him nearly 2000 dollars just to wrap up his wrist. He is leaving Canada soon just for that reason.
