You arrive at your province of residence, technically you're not covered for health care until 3 months of living there. (You might want to get some private insurance during this time.)

Private insurance just in case isn't a bad idea, but important to note that this waiting period is only the case in Ontario and BC. Every other province has decided that a waiting period for healthcare services is unconstitutional and everyone in those provinces is eligible for healthcare immediately upon establishing residency, citizen or not.

Also, if you do happen to get pregnant, in Ontario and I think also in BC you are eligible for free midwifery care on the government's dime from the moment you become a resident, whether or not you're a citizen and whether or not you have OHIP coverage. You can also access primary healthcare through Community Health Centres if you're uninsured.
