OHIP Claim for Foreign Workers

[nabz89]

Hi folks,
I have been working in Canada since May 2012 with no idea that I was eligible for OHIP as per the statement here from OHIP website:

You may be eligible for the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) if you are included under one of the following categories:

"you are a foreign worker who holds a valid work permit or other document issued by Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) permitting you to work in Canada, and you also have a formal agreement in place to work full-time for an employer situated in Ontario which sets out the employer's name, your occupation, and confirmation that you will be working for no less than six consecutive months"

I have spent a lot of money on doctor visits including an emergency care which costed me $500.
Is there any way now to get a refund or it's too late?

Thanks

A refund unfortunately won't happen. All you can do is make sure you are covered going forward.
