WELCOME PLAN

The Welcome Plan is temporary supplementary insurance that provides essential basic healthcare coverage for temporary, new, or returning Canadian residents and their families when they do not qualify for provincial health plan coverage in their province or territory.

Welcome Plan benefits are available if the employee meets all eligibility requirements:

  • The employee and their dependent(s) must be covered under the Extended Health Plan
  • They must legally reside in a Canadian province or territory and are not eligible for coverage under a federal or provincial government health plan (e.g., MSP) because they do not satisfy the residency requirement in their province or territory of residence.
