You gotta. Not sure about if it's 6 months though, think it's 3 months in BC so could be the same in ON. Do double check.
Read the second line of the form. Attach an additional sheet with the same tabular format and attach it to the end.
Upon further reading, it seems like they've waived off the 90 day period. And the 153 days out of 183 is just supposed to be the applicant's intent which he/she is supposed to fulfill. But the health plan kicks in right away.
Probably a dumb question - How do i add an attachment? It's not allowing me to combine the PDF. Should i print out all pages and then scan back?
You're gonna have to print it out anyway to physically sign it. When you scan them back, you attach this additional page at the end.
Nope rules have changed, you can get OHIP from day one, provided you can show them a proof of address. They will give you your OHIP number right away and mail the card in a couple of weeks. Just take your passport, CoPR and address proof to Service Ontario.
Thanks for confirming. So, you still have to wait until you get an address proof (rental agreement).
Ontario now allows coverage as soon as you have a permanent address. They require the rental agreement, at least my case was like that.
I had a similar issue to you. These are the steps I took:
Right. But they accept a number of address proofs (phone bill, bank statements), so you'd have to wait atmost a month. See if you can get any of these documents asap. Even the rental agreement doesn't have to be an official one, I saw some posts on FB who got an agreement for a months Airbnb stay and were able to get their Ohip. It depends on the Service Ontario employee, but worth a try. Saves a lot of headache and money. Also, unlike Service Canada, Service Ontario is pretty efficient, so no lengthy wait times.
