From Japan to Canada

I understand that it takes 3 months for me and my family to get back on the Canadian Health Insurance, due to the application period. Does anyone have any ideas about a good short term health insurance policy I can get for this 3 months.

You could always try travel insurance in the meantime - that's what I'd do!

Do you have medical coverage now? My plan with Morgan Price will cover me for 90 days emergency and accident when I repatriate - you might want to ask your provider about that.
