Hello everyone, I have a question related to OHIP for newcomers (never been to Canada before).
I a bit confused about this information:
As a new immigrant, can I apply for the OHIP card the next day after my landing and be covered by this insurance?
Thank you
I a bit confused about this information:
To qualify for OHIP, you must meet all of the minimum qualifications listed below plus at least one of the additional requirements.
To meet the minimum qualifications you must:
- be physically in Ontario for 153 days in any 12‑month period
- be physically in Ontario for at least 153 days of the first 183 days immediately after you began living in the province
- make Ontario your primary residence
As a new immigrant, can I apply for the OHIP card the next day after my landing and be covered by this insurance?
Thank you
