Hi,
My wife landed in Jan 2017 as PR in Ontario and had to leave the country after 140 days. She returned back in 1.5 months in July 2017 and had to leave Canada again in September 2017 for a month due to some family commitments. From Nov 2017 she has been continuously in Canada and we had our baby in Nov 2018.
We came to notice the Residency requirement of 153 out of 183 days initially. We had initially thought of 153 days a year. What should we do now. Should we contact OHIP and explain the situation. As per this rule(153/183) my wife becomes eligible only in Feb 2018 after returning in Nov 2017. We are ok to pay back any services taken until Feb 2018 but are concerned about if OHIP would ask to payback even the cost of having the baby(technically we were eligible by that time) and anything till now.
What should we do in this case. Please advice.
