New Foundland Healthcare

In Newfoundland and Labrador, there's a healthcare plan called (Medical Care Plan) MCP Newfoundland, which gives free medical care to all legal residents, including newcomers who apply the right way.


Eligibility for Medical Care Plan

  • If you're a newcomer in Newfoundland and Labrador and can prove that you're legally in the country and plan to make this province your home, you can get coverage from MCP Newfoundland.


  • Newfoundland and Labrador doesn't specify a specific number of days or months you need to be present in the province to call it your primary residence.


  • However, you might be asked to provide evidence of your intent to stay, such as a lease or house title.


  • If you have a work visa and a full-time job and plan to stay in the province for at least 12 months, you are eligible.


  • The only exception is healthcare workers who might get coverage for contracts lasting 6 months or more.
