As soon as you arrive in Québec, you can register for the Health Insurance Plan if you meet the eligibility conditions. For example, you may apply for a Health Insurance Card if you settle in Québec, come to pursue studies or work here or extend a temporary stay. If you were registered for health insurance in the past, you have to re-register upon your return to Québec, except if you remained eligible during a temporary absence. For more information, consult the page Inform RAMQ of a departure from Québec.
