Not surprised regardless of what the criteria is on paper. The first time I got OHIP I had to go back there 4 times because each time they decided they didn't like a different aspect of the work reference letter (even though there is no listed criteria for this letter on the document list other than that you need one).

I visited 47 Sheppard Avenue East today for health Card renewal. They renewed my Health card with the Citizen/Immigration status: "APPLICANT TO REMAIN AS P.R." , but refused to renew for my family.

My wife also got open work permit based on AOR number and my children has visitor status.

They are asking employee letter (full time job) to renew health card for the family.

Mail received from Citizenship and Immigration Canada having file number does not state my family members name. It only address to me. How can I proof that my family also applied for PR and I am the primary applicant.

Thanks mansari for the update.

I received AOR, applied for BOWP and in Implied status.

I visited Service Ontario on last saturday and asked for health card renewal using AOR letter. They searched their files and found a big book with all the rules and regulations for health card renewals using AOR. They showed me all the AOR letter samples that their book consists of and it is mentioned across the AOR on CEC is not eligible for health card extension as well as AOR on PNP program. There are certain other AORs (under different programs) that are eligible for health card extension. It seems that the staff in Service Ontario office I visited are very well trained on these things, She told me right away that AOR on CEC class is not eligible for health card. I believe other service ontario centers do not have expertise on this matter, I will go and try with other center and let you guys know if it works out or not.

Which office was that, if you don't mind me asking?

I'll probably go to the one on Bay St in Toronto anyway, as I assume they have a lot of exposure to these matters.

It is Service Ontario in Kitchener, 1400 Weber Street East. The clerk mentioned right away that the AOR in CEC class is not eligible for Heath Card. When I told her that some of my friends got health card extensions on AORs, she brought a book which consists of the eligible documents for Health Card and showed me all AOR samples and decision against them. For AOR under CEC, it is marked in Bold Letters as 'NOT ELIGIBLE'. So I could not argue at all and returned silently.

Hence it is worth trying at Service Ontario centers where the staff has half-knowledge on AORs. If they go by rule books (I believe it is same for all centers), they will not issue health card extensions.

I guess Service Ontario have made a determination that an AOR does not amount to a confirmation of eligibility for Canadian Experience Class. Bummer.

Guess I'm waiting for my BOWP and hoping to not get sick until then.

Thanks
