When is OHIP card mailed?

[keesio]

My wife is a new immigrant to Ontario. She applied for OHIP about 2 months ago. She got a paper saying she will be eligible for OHIP on January 14th and a card will be mailed to her. My question is - when do they mail the card? Do you normally receive it before the start date or some time after?

My husband received his a few days (5?) before he was eligible to start using it.

Thanks for the reply. I guess my wife should be getting it any day now if all goes according to plan.

Actually it came in the mail today!
