Hey all, my partner and I have decided to tie the knot, so I’m going to be on my way from the US to Canada.
I’ve been looking all around the .gov websites, but I am looking for other helpful sites, or maybe even ‘baby’s guide to Canadian stuff’. I’ve been up there a lot so I know how every day life feels, but have no realistic idea about taxes or insurance or voting, etc etc. So yeah, any help would be appreciated.
Ohh good to know about the AI gen. Ugh. That’s just bullshit.
But yeah, been looking at the canada.ca ones and am aware of BCs slightly different healthcare things - ie medications aren’t covered except maybe sometimes. It’s weird.
But thanks for the rest!
In Canada, healthcare is a provincial responsibility and so it might be different across the country. With medications especially, we have a patchwork of overlapping rules and support systems. The new national pharmacare system was supposed to be the first step towards fixing that mess, but unfortunately with the new government:

Also no problem and welcome to Canada! :)
