Hello All,
First of all i have been following this forum from the past 9-10 months and i have to admit it has been very helpful.Thanks to all the people who take the effort of being so kind to reply to queries without gaining anything from it.This is highly appreciated.
Now, people i am in a situation.We landed , did all our paper work in October 2009 , got our PR's,SIN cards and bank cards.We landed in Ontario.We (my wife and myself) are not in Canada right now and both are working individuals.My wife is carrying our first child and she is 2 months pregnant.We didn't apply for the health cards at that time as we were told that its not allowed if we are not staying there permanently(at that time).
We do have proof of residence(which we gave to the bank + PR card receival etcc...) but no rent contract.Can we fly down and apply for OHIP and then come back again?
If yes, how much time does this whole process take?
I know OHIP is valid only after 3 months from the moment we landed, its been roughly 9 months now, is it ok then to apply now?
We dont mind coming there by say another 4 months from now, again , if we get to apply now and get the baby delivered in Canada.
Appreciate kind replies from all the pro's in here.
Thanks again
Cheers
