NOTE: for most provinces you lose your provincial healthcare coverage if gone for more than 6 months out of the year. Ontario is an exception where you may be temporarily outside of Canada for a total of 212 days in any 12 month period. Please make sure you contact your provincial government before leaving on an extended holiday.
