Hi,

I did a short landing and left canada without apply for Health coverage (Ontario). I received my PR card through a friend. Will there be a problem when I apply for the OHIP later upon my return o Canada?

You did the right thing. You are not eligible to even apply for the health card until you permanently move to Canada. There will not be any problem once you move here to settle.

Hello. You can get your card when you return back. You should live 3 month in Ontario until you can get OHIP.
So you did everything right.
