Apply for OHIP after landed

[NeoJ]

Thanks for the help in advance!

Can new PR apply for OHIP (health insurance) immediately after the PR status confirmed after landing or need to wait for 183 days? I saw some old posts saying can apply directly but I suppose that was a while ago. Nowadays is it compulsory to wait for 183 days before you can apply for OHIP?

Another follow up question: if OHIP card was received during working visa stage, now after PR, can that card still be used (SIN number is changed already)

You can apply immediately. They waived the requirement.

Scroll down and you'll see this:

There is no waiting period for OHIP.

You do not need to wait to be physically present for the days above before applying.

You can apply for coverage as soon as you arrive in Ontario.

Many thx for your reply.

Those are for emergency authorisation right? Does it apply to normal situation?

Also if applying right after arriving,

• one document (original, printed or digital/electronic document as noted on the list) that proves your residency in Ontario

How to get the residency proof?
