no you cannot you need a health care card or you have to pay on each visit

you could but you would have to pretend that you are that person and if you get caught its fraud. Also dental is not covered.

You are required to have a provincial health care care card or a Social Insurance Number,and possibly proof of residence.

No, random people can't just come to Canada for free health care. A provincial health card is required as identification at doctor's offices and hospitals. Canadians pay taxes for their health care, so it's really not "free". No, dental is not covered by Canadian healthcare, although many people get it covered in benefits through their jobs.

no, medicare is only for Canadian citizens who do not have health insurance which is often provided by the employer (which is usually even better than what medicare offers). Dental is covered once a year for children up to 18 years of age (but we still have to pay the basic $50 fee per visit), after that medicare does not cover dental or optometrist... Private insurance (from employers) often do cover dental and eyes...

No. Dental work isn't even free for Canadian citizens.
