As a foreigner living in Montreal, will I have access to public healthcare? What is it like?
We asked expats in Montreal if they have access to public healthcare in Montreal. And, if they do have access, what is it like. They wrote...
"Yes, as a foreigner living in Montreal, you will have access to public healthcare. The public healthcare system in Canada is known as Medicare and is funded by the federal and provincial governments. It provides access to medically necessary services such as doctor visits, hospital stays, and diagnostic tests. The quality of care is generally high, and the cost of services is usually covered by the government. However, some services may require additional fees, such as prescription drugs or dental care," said another expat in Montreal, Canada.
