Quebec PR Application - Open Work Permit - Is PA RAMQ eligible?

[ERCAN]

I'm trying to understand the eligibility requirements for RAMQ.
It seems that OWP does make you eligible, but some working regarding the type of OWP is confusing.

Any inland Quebec applicant can comment: After getting AOR for PR sponsorship and getting approved for OWP, will PA be eligible to apply for RAMQ?

In my case PA and dependent will come on TRV and apply for OWP as per latest public policy (TRV already granted).

I have OWP and I got approved for RAMQ. However I had to get a proof from my employer that I had a job.

Do you have a document proving you can stay in Quebec more than 6 months ?

I guess the owp would be enough proof for that?

This may seem like a silly question but I could not find a clear answer. Can PA come to Canada as a visitor, apply for OWP a bit after they arrive, with no job offer, and then if the OWP is granted can stay in Canada as a temporary resident legally until the OWP expires, eg, 24 months, and never actually work?

The RAMQ agent told us we could apply once the AIP was obtained, the AOR was not enough.

Interesting. Did you get your OWP after PR or you had other status? Just thinking that you can't have job unless you acquire OWP. If you apply for RAMQ at this very moment, it's not always possible to get the job right away... so if you have no job yet, or plan to go study, no RAMQ?

I guess not everyone receives AIP at all during the processing (I mean that recently I saw a bunch of people getting their eligibility completed within few days right before PPR).

I got my owp after getting aor from pr. And I got a job right after getting the owp.

I actually don't know, but given that ramq requested that information, I assume that no work no RAMQ. I also didn't find any information about it, I just sent in an application to ramq after getting my owp.

Thank you for info. I'll keep that in mind

It's when eligibility completed.

AIP = approval in principle which means it is basically approved and remaining background checks (it also means eligibility completed).

If you are the spouse of a Canadian citizen or PR you will only qualify for RAMQ on your OWP if you are employed in Quebec.

It also says when you are working temporarily in Quebec. So you must prove that you are working and can stay over 6 months in Quebec to qualify for RAMQ.
