Student visa and Temp residence entitled to MSP in BC?
Student visa and Temp residence entitled to MSP in BC?
Does anyone know if we travel into Canada on a Student visa and have TEMPORARY residence in British Colombia, if we are entitled to the MSP (Medical services plan - BC equivalent of UK NHS) and all it's benefits. Can't find any websites confirming this.

You are not entitled to a health plan. Unless you have residency in Canada, pay taxes and work. Best to get private insurance or contact your NHS back home.
