241.‍2 (1) A person may receive medical assistance in dying only if they meet all of the following criteria: (a) they are eligible — or, but for any applicable minimum period of residence or waiting period, would be eligible — for health services funded by a government in Canada;

you need to live there to use that service

nope, you must be Canadian. I'd been looking into it for well over a year and only in March of 2024 are they (hopefully) going to aid those with mental illnesses...as they should have from the start. There's so much opposition to it but if those opposing gave a shite and were actually forced to pay money to "help" those with mental illness/put their money where their mouth is, they would all STFU and not oppose it.

Canada seems to be just letting anyone move their these days. I don't see why it would be impossible.

I think you have to be permanent resident at least but not sure

Nope. It's only accessible to those who are eligible for government health insurance. This was done in order to prevent death tourism. This means that unless you are Canadian you cannot access maid.
