Canadian Health System?

I was wondering if any forumites have experience with the Canadian health insurance system? I believe they have a government subsidized system?
We hired a Canadian citizen (lived and worked in the U.S. and had a green card) and employment was later termed with an agreement part of which said we would cover her and her spouse until a specific date or she gained coverage elsewhere through a new employer. Well, she went back to Canada to live and work - I'm trying to figure out when her Canadian health coverage would've taken effect? Is that immediate or would she have to wait 90 days? She's been evasive when I ask for a date.

If their system is anything like Britain's, you should also bear in mind that many citizens opt to purchase private insurance, rather than relying on the government model, so I don't know if this would have any impact on your situation or not. Let us know what you find out. Good luck.
