Eligibility and Registration
Eligibility

To be eligible for New Brunswick Medicare coverage you must be:

a Canadian citizen or be legally entitled to remain in Canada;
a resident who makes his/her permanent and principal home in New Brunswick
A “resident” means a person lawfully entitled to be or to remain in Canada, who makes his home and is ordinarily present in New Brunswick, but does not include a tourist, transient or visitor to the Province.

The following individuals are not eligible for coverage:

regular members of the R.C.M.P. and the Canadian Armed Forces, (however members of their families are eligible);
tourists and visitors to the province;
transients;
students from another province or on student visas; and
inmates of federal penitentiaries.
Maintaining a dwelling, owning property in the province of New Brunswick or paying New Brunswick property or income tax does not mean you are eligible for insured physician or hospital services under the New Brunswick Medicare Plan.


Registration

An application for registration form is available from the offices of Service New Brunswick (SNB). A separate form should be completed for any dependent who has reached a nineteenth birthday.

Applications are assessed on an individual basis and other documents may be requested to verify eligibility.

Once a completed application form is received from new registrants and their eligibility is established, a letter indicating actual start date of coverage is issued. A valid New Brunswick Medicare card is issued and mailed shortly thereafter.

If you have moved to New Brunswick, you may be eligible for New Brunswick Medicare coverage on the first day of the third month following the month you have established permanent residence in New Brunswick. For example, if you moved to New Brunswick on July 20, the month of July will count as the first month, with August and September as the following two. In this case, coverage would begin October 1.

The three month waiting period is legislated under New Brunswick’s Medical Services Payment Act and no exemptions can be made.

Your New Brunswick Medicare card has an expiry date. Three months before this date, you will receive a “Notice of Expiry” form which you must complete, sign and return to New Brunswick Medicare. Once the form is received and no additional information is required, coverage will be renewed and a new card sent out with a new expiry date.

New Brunswick Medicare has the right to terminate your coverage or adjust your card’s expiry date at any time.

汇报一下，当作写日记了。

那张表呢，我是粗略的填了一下，看不懂得地方打电话问了snb,电话是 1-888-762-8600。不过鉴于本人比较笨，还是不太敢确定，而且电话里的美女说，让我复印自己觉得有用的身份证明文件，我实在是觉得比什么都不说还糊涂。所以中午抽吃饭时间去了趟snb。中午12点snb人不是很多，不过工作人员也少，效率还是很低。

我把自己填过的表和护照（包括以前的学签和工签）都交给她，她帮我检查了表，然后把护照拿去自己复印有用的东西，最后把护照还给我，告诉我，她会把东西寄到弗莱，要等90天左右，我不用查什么，如果有问题，他们会打电话给我。

直接邮寄也应该是可以的，因为不知道她究竟复印了些什么，所以建议要直接邮寄的同学把护照有章和有字每页都复印上。另外填表的时候注意，凡是和自己没关系的（比如配偶情况，犯罪情况）都要写上n/a。如果实在不放心，还是排队让snb的人给检查检查。

这种基础社会福利，还是很容易的，希望大家一切顺利！

直接拿着工签或者移民纸还有ID到Service new Brunswick, 告诉柜台你要办MEDICARE, 他就会全都给你搞定了，不用自己填。

请问楼主，所有学生都可以办吗？part Time的行吗？snb在哪里呀？~~

[freshrab]

按照他们的说法,只要是本省的长期居民就都可以,不过学校的医保已经cover了medicare里面cover的东西,基本上我觉得没什么用.

snb就是你办photo id的地方,在king square,原来的电影院旁边

Are international students covered by Medicare?

No, international students are generally not eligible for Medicare. At UNB, health coverage for international students or faculty members is provided through an insurance plan administered by the University. NBCC ensures that all of its international students have adequate health insurance coverage.
