The Canadian health system is financed by the Government and is based on five
principles:
- It is accessible to all regardless of their incomes
- Offers complete services
- It's public service
- It is universal access to citizens and permanent residents
- Applied inside and outside the country
In 2006 the federal government funding was 33% of the total health expenditure in
Canada

In order to use the services and treatments of health in Canada, you must be a
permanent resident status
Some refugees are granted permanent resident status while in Canada and are
eligible for health care.
In Canada, you have to have health insurance because if one day you get sick
you will need to pay all the costs of the hospital and medicines, since the law does
not allow it
