If I am immigrating to the UK or Canada how do I get health insurance?

Is there a plan you can buy? Appreciate your help!
--------------------
There are two issues here, really: your immigration status, and health insurance. In general, to immigrate, you must petition the correct government in order to gain a visa to enter the country. With most governments, when you are approved for immigration, you will be provided with information and phone numbers for people who can assist you with getting settled in the country. This will include information about obtaining health insurance. Within the UK, people who have the right to live in the country do not have to buy insurance. Having said that, it is very difficult to gain the right to enter the UK on a permanent basis. There are many boxes you must tick before you can enter.
