You need to be a citizen/resident of Canada and live 153 days per year in Canada. See the rules for Ontario ...

No, why should you be? If you and your spouse are living in the US, your spouse is not a resident of Canada, is she? If your spouse is living and working in the US, she isn't eligible for the Canadian system, either, it is for taxpayers. Our system isn't free, it is universal, there is a difference. We do pay for it, with our taxes, and we are guaranteed acceptance. She is only eligible if she is temporary resident in the US with a main residence in Canada, or on temporary duty, such as Canadian Armed Forces on assignment in the US. You can become eligible if you move to, and become a legal resident in Canada.

no you are not eligible nor is your wife. You have to reside in Canada and you also have to pay your healthcare premiums (although minor, they are still payable quarterly).

Of course not !! You have to live in a province of Canada, ask your wonderful state to give you some health care

You don't have to be a citizen, most of the people who live legally in Canada are eligible for health care.

By the way, if you guys keep on living on the u.s. for long your partner will loose his status in Canada, watch out !!

No because you do not reside in Canada.

No you have to reside here. My brothers live in the US and are not covered. Another thing...it is not free.

No. Your wife isn't eligible either if she doesn't live here.

mkt f

first response is no,no.if you live in the u.s .she is only resident of canada ??not citizen ?

u r dumb

forst health care is not free! It is subsidized with our taxes that Americans complain we pay too much for .
YOu live in the USA not Canada you are not a permanent resident of Canada so the answer is absolutly not are you eligible for free health care !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very definitely not if you are a Canadian Citizen and leave the country for more than 30 days you lose your health coverage

No, because your not a legal Canadian citizen. Your spouse however is and is eligible.
