I've been hearing conflicting things so I wanted to see if anyone could clarify for me. My wife applied for permanent residency earlier this year. We got her work permit and her medical exam all done. I heard that when you get your work permit, you automatically get OHIP. Is that true? Or are we waiting until we get the actual permanent residency?
Work Permit with OHIP?
- Thread starter Fantasmu
- Start date
Canuck78 is correct.
She is eligible for OHIP 3 months from the date of full-time employment. If she has a full-time job, she will need an employment letter hand signed in ink by her boss on company letterhead.
I wrote my letter and had my boss sign it. This is the format I used. Replace the bits in brackets with the appropriate information.
When she goes to Service ontario she will need to take her work permit, her passport, and proof of address. (check here for a list of appropriate documents: https://www.ontario.ca/page/documents-needed-get-health-card#section-1 )
Hope this helps.
