The Canadian health system offers a range of services in response to everyone's health needs. This guide contains key information to help you access health care services including emergency care, a family doctor, and health insurance coverage. It also tells you about walk-in clinics, online services, and programs for people with disabilities.
Each province and territory have their own regulations and resources, but all of them commit to guaranteeing equitable and effective access to health care. In the following paragraphs, you will find useful information, links, and practical advice to navigate the Canadian health system.
As a newcomer, you should get acquainted with local services and resources and familiarize with the health system so you can benefit from a seamless and safe integration.
If you are denied service or experience discrimination, you can contact one of the Disability Rights Advocacy Organizations or Legal Clinics listed under “Additional Services”. Alternatively, report the situation through our report form and our team will follow up with you.
