Hello, my parents received the letter granting the permanent resident status (they are under my sponsorship) in April 2014, but landed in Canada and obtained SIN on August 21, 2014. Been here for a week and left Canada. Now they are back, on June 3, 2017, and planning to stay forever. But are they still eligible for the permanent resident status and OHIP? I.e. when their residency started counting 5 years - from April or August? Thank you.
