Proof of residency while applying for OHIP

[astrodude]

Hi,

my situation: I own a house in Ontario and my wife just landed and is living with me. the mortgage/water/gas/electric bills are all under my name only. She is not yet having a driver license, Ontario Photo card or bank statement.

question: how can we prove to Ontario Service Center that she is living at the same address with me, in the quickest way?

Someone has suggested that we sign a lease agreement, but I am afraid if this would work since it is obvious not a real agreement.

Please advise. Thanks!

A lease agreement signed by your spouse would likely be seen as invalid. Set up a bank account.

You can add your spouse to your property insurance and show that as proof of residence.
