Govt Health Card In Vancouver

[Destination1]

Dear all,
I just got approval of my close work permit, my wife open work and study permit for my department kids. I am am traveling to Vancouver, here are my questions please share your thoughts or experience.
I will get Govt health card on landline or I will have to wait? If I need to wait then how long please?
If I need to wait, then I need to get private health insurance? If I need to get private health then for how long please. Thanks
