Hi,

My PR card expires in July this year and I will enter Toronto Canada in May. I need to apply for my health card and I hear it takes three months to get one.

Will I get it before my PR card expires?
 
If you arrive in May and there is a 3 month waiting period for OHIP, you will get it in August. You say your PR card expires in July so the answer is no, you will not have OHIP before your PR card expires. You can however apply for OHIP before your PR card expires, you just wont get it until August.

You should consider getting private insurance for emergencies and accident coverage in case something happens while you are waiting to get covered.
