Can expats with temporary residence access public healthcare in Canada?

Expert Info

Hi, does anyone know if expats with temporary residence can get access to public healthcare in Canada? I've read conflicting things about foreigners being able to access public healthcare and others say only if you have permanent residence. And if you have to find private options, does anyone have recommendations for hospitals and insurance?

Thanks in advance!
