My PR Card is renewed and I came back to Canada in Feb 2017. When I went to apply for the OHIP Health Insurance, the Rep at the counter told me to get a bank statement and I did that. When I went back in Apri 2017 after getting the monthly bank statement, the Rep told me that I will be eligible for this only after 3 months from date of return, i.e. in May 2017 and I should get the April Bank Statement and come after that.
So far so good. No problem.
After that the Rep at the counter called the Head Office and the lady over there came up with some more requirements. She asked if I had a list of several documents. I told her No. Then she said that I should bring the E-Ticket on which I came back to Canada. Although I cannot see the rationale for this, since this is something easy I can give it. Everybody comes by a flight and they do not come walking.
In the OHIP application it is mentioned that one needs to have Passport and PR Card to prove identity and address proof which is on the Bank Statement.
After that she told me that I should get a cell phone with a receipt in my name. I could not understand why she was asking for this. My wife and I use one phone to cut down on expenses and I cannot understand why the lady is asking me to get another phone in my name. Can I question her about it.
My question is: Is the lady asking for something which is within the policy limits or she is making a unreasonable demand and prescribing something out of her own pocket.
This is in Mississauga, Ontario.
Can somebody knowledgeable about this advise me on this and is it OK for me to question the lady about which she is asking for these additional documents when only Passport, PR Card and Bank Statement are sufficient.
