The OP's situation is not however as cut and dried as mine, but he should seek advice from an official source and take appropriate action to ensure coverage.
I'm the same here - in Japan as a PR and paying Japanese taxes so when I go home I do take travel insurance from Japan despite being a Canadian citizen. I think if you were returning home to live you would have to notify Alberta health and then you're all sorted though.
