My father is a Canadian citizen and resided in Ontario most of his life but the past 7 years or so he's been in the US. He'll be moving to Ontario in 2 weeks and I understand from the other posts in this thread that the 3 month OHIP waiting period starts on his landing date or when he moved to Ontario. Since he'll be driving, I imagine he should get a receipt or proof of entry to be used for the OHIP application?
Also, I understand that to cover his health insurance during the 3 month waiting period, he'll need to get traveler insurance from a Canadian company as posted from another thread. I've checked kanetix.ca and I'm getting quotes for around $300-600/mo. It's too bad these quotes seem to only cover 80% of certain things like prescriptions. Regarding coverage, is it possible to get 100% supplemental coverage for this 3 month period and/or for when he has OHIP? I'm worried that if his prescriptions end up costing a lot he'll be more reluctant to get them filled.
One more thing regarding the OHIP application. The plan was to stay in a hotel or airbnb for the first couple of months until we can find him a reasonable apartment to sign a lease. Will this cause an issue for the OHIP application?
Sorry for all the questions, I'm just trying to get as much in order as possible so there aren't any surprises.
Thanks!
