Congratulations!

SIN: You will have to wait for the OWP hard copy.

Ontario Health Card:

1) To meet the minimum qualifications you must:
  • be physically in Ontario for 153 days in any 12‑month period
  • be physically in Ontario for at least 153 days of the first 183 days immediately after you began living in the province
  • make Ontario your primary home
Also, One of the below:

1) have applied for permanent residence, and Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada has confirmed that:
  • you meet the eligibility requirements to apply
  • you have not yet been denied
2) are in Ontario on a valid work permit and are working full-time in Ontario, for an Ontario employer, for at least six months
  • your spouse and any dependents also qualify if you do

Just to clarify on point 2) - you don't need to have been working for six months, you just need to show that your employer plans on employing you for at least 6 months. The best way to prove this is to ask your employer (once you've found one) to write you a letter clearly outlining that they intend to employ you for 6 months or more.

Hello,

Today when I logged into GCKey my work permit application went from "submitted" to "profile updates". When I opened the portal it had changed under "eligibility requirements". It now says: We are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements. I saw that others had this information and when they contacted IRCC they were told that their work permit had already been approved but it was not updated online. I hope this is good news!

Application Submitted: January 6th, 2020
AOR: February 28th, 2020

We went to West Humber Service Canada Centre and received it right away.
