Canadian Citizen: Health Insurance

canadian citizen: But after more than 60 years in Canada, Gyselinck discovered she's not actually Canadian, according to CBC. Gyselinck, 67, grew up in Manitoba and now lives in Deep Cove, B.C. Over the course of her life, she has worked as a welder, car detailer, and artist, among other things. She was just a one-year-old, and has never known any other home since. She also married, had two children and was widowed. The realization that she's not a Canadian citizen has sent her life into a tailspin, leaving her unable to acquire valid identification and at risk of losing her health insurance. She always had a social insurance number, health insurance and paid her taxes. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
