You have to visit the full service Service Ontario locations to set up OHIP. Once you have the card, you can renew at any SO office. When you get your COPR, just bring that in and they will correct your expiry date (and issue another card).
Yeah that's what I said lol.. that I didn't know but found out on my own after experiencing it a few days ago. Didn't realize there was a "full service" location

I did that the other day. 30 minutes wait for an agent. She couldn't help me. So she had to transfer me to spousal line. Was another 40 minute wait before i got to speak to an agent.
Yeah, it doesn't always work but more than likely over the line they want us to use. Very rarely they will help you but at least they can transfer you. @Marie_genial

No I don't so i am concerned my application will take a long time
If you don't have dependents, then it probably is a closer review. It can end in an interview. I wouldn't let it bother you too much.

Sounds like you didn't update CIC after you moved. Landings are scheduled based on postal code on file. So, you have to call the call centre, and explain that you are living in Toronto, not Vancouver. They can have Etobicoke contact you.

Congrats on being done...

Seems like your landing letter. Congrats! Completed as stated.. as Prof said; you just have to contract the centre explaining the situation. They also state in the ena what to do if you can't make it or need to reschedule.

Afraid???
Its just a conversation. . . you get asked various questions, in no particular order. . . . which are already in your application and you respond. For me, I got asked how did you meet? What did you do while u were home all this time? Did you travel in-between cities before u married? What did you do in your home country? To give you an idea. Then the 3 questions everybody get asked.
1 any dependents not listed on your app.?
2 been arrested?
3 asked to leave Canada?
You answer accordingly!!!
Did you really said you were afraid???

To go get your PR!!!!!
I know many on this forum would like your spot. Ha ha ha
Brave up n go collect that document

Her mom wanted her to get a Mini Cooper (truth be told -- I did too; but only a manual gearbox!). She wanted something simple and cheap to run. So, she went for a Focus. My parents have always had one around, for more than a decade. So she decided that was better for her.

She won't drive my Charger -- hood is too long. For someone still learning, that can make parking problematic.
Focus are good vehicles. .
