Access to healthcare for all Any person living in Quebec can do a COVID-19 test free of charge and receive treatment free of charge if they test positive for COVID-19. This applies regardless of immigration status.
You can therefore receive a COVID-19 test and treatment even if you are not covered by the Régime d’assurance-maladie du Québec (RAMQ or Quebec medicare) or your RAMQ card has expired. This also applies if you are a person with no legal immigration status in Canada (sometimes called “non-status”).
You are not obliged to reveal your immigration status to medical personnel in order to receive the COVID-19 test or treatment.
