Do I Need Private Health Insurance for IEC?

Hi everyone,
I’m an Australian citizen and I’ve received my Canadian Work Permit Letter of Introduction. My letter says my medical examination is “N/A”, and I’m planning to travel to Canada soon.
I’m a bit confused about health insurance.
Do I need to purchase private health insurance before I enter Canada.

I’d really appreciate advice from anyone who has gone through this process, especially other Australians or IEC/work permit holders.

Curious about the reputation of Pakistani-made knives in the knife community

I have a few questions regarding knives from Pakistan.
I got interested in knives because of hunting. I’m in Australia, but I was born in Wazirabad, and I naturally became curious about the knife-making culture there.
From what I’ve seen online, Pakistani knives seem to get mixed reactions in knife communities, so I wanted to ask people with more experience:
Why do Pakistani knives often get criticism?

What are the biggest things that could be improved?

Is the knife making skill and craftsmanship actually respected among enthusiasts?

I’m genuinely asking out of curiosity and wanting to learn more about the reputation, strengths, and weaknesses from people who know knives better than I do.
