Hi
My husband and son (both PR) and I (citizen) will be landing in Canada next week, staying with family, possibly coming back to the States for a week or so and then moving into our new home when our lease begins October 1. These are my questions about OHIP:
1) To confirm, once the three months is passed you get your OHIP card immediately, so there is no advantage to applying the week we land?
2) When they ask "When did you arrive in Ontario?" is that asking our landing date?
3) When they ask "When did you take up permanent residence?" is that the same as our landing date or the date that our lease begins?
4) For my husband and son, I presume that they check "yes" for the "are you a new immigrant" question. But this is my weird question, I am a Canadian citizen who has never before lived in Canada (I have dual with American and have only ever lived in the States) do I check yes or no to "Are you a Canadian citizen returning to Canada?".
Thanks in advance for the help!!
