What's your current understanding of how provincial healthcare coverage works for students in Canada?

I'm not sure what provincial coverage means or how it applies to me I know it exists and is publicly funded, but I'm unclear on eligibility and waiting periods I understand there's a 3-month waiting period and different rules by province, but haven't researched my specific province yet I've already researched my province's requirements, registration process, and what's covered versus not covered

I'll figure it out when I need it—I'm not planning ahead I know student health services exist on campus, but I haven't identified other care options I plan to visit the student health centre and know walk-in clinics exist, but haven't found a family doctor yet I've identified my student health centre, researched family doctor options, and know where urgent care is located

How confident are you about mental health support and emergency protocols in Canada?

I haven't thought about mental health support or what to do in emergencies I know 911 exists for emergencies, but I'm unclear on other mental health resources I understand emergency protocols and that counselling services exist, but haven't learned specific details I know when to call 911, where campus counselling is, and have the crisis line number saved
