A amanb014 Star Member Aug 25, 2019 117 20 Jul 9, 2020 #1 Hello, I am wondering if I need to buy travel health insurance until we get the Heath Cards from OHIP? Does OHIP start immediately after landing (since they waived 3 month period) or does it start only when you get the health card?

As long as the 3 months are still waived you are fine without the insurance. You also have to be planning on meeting the OHIP residency obligations which are not the same as PR ROs. If you are doing a soft landing you likely won’t qualify for OHIP.
