29. Moving to Canada? Let's Talk About The Health Insurance Mistake That Could Cost You $15,000

Could one unexpected medical bill force you to leave Canada 🇨🇦?

It happened to Marcello. 😫

He was 25, healthy, athletic, and convinced a private health insurance was an unnecessary expense.

A few days after arriving in Toronto, he landed in emergency surgery for appendicitis… and walked away with a $15,000 medical bill.

His Canadian dream ended before it had even begun.

In this episode, I break down everything newcomers need to know about private health insurance 🏥 in Canada:

✅ why it matters,

✅ when it’s mandatory,

✅ what waiting periods really mean,

✅ and how one overlooked detail could cost you far more than you expect.

If Canada is in your plans, this episode could save you thousands.💸
