OHIP coverage on temp work visa

[gonnatry]

will my husband be covered when he gets his work visa?

 from what I have read in Regulation 552 of the Ontario Health Insurance Act 1990, one is elligible for a OHIP card if you meet all the following conditions:
1. you have a letter from your employer stating their name, your occupation and that you will be working there for at least 6 months.
2. your principle residence is in Ontario,
3. unless your job requires you to travel for work you must be in Ontario for at least 153 of the first 183 days after you become a resident of Ontario and, therafter, 153 days in any 12-month period. There are other exceptions but I doubt they apply to your case.
4. You have resided in Ontario for a full and consecutive 3 month period prior to applying for an OHIP (the waiting period)
