Health Care 

All residents of Alberta are covered by the Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan (310- 000, then (780) 427-1432). This entitles all residents to essential medical services. To be eligible you must have resided in the province for at least three months. For more information and to download application forms please visit: www.health.gov.ab.ca. If you are moving to Calgary from another province your old province’s health insurance plan will cover you until such time as you are eligible for the Alberta Health Plan. If you are moving from another country and are not currently covered by health insurance you may want to purchase travel Health Insurance for the interim.
