I would like to move to Ottawa from Montreal while my PR is in progress

[vijaykrishnagv]

Hi,
I am currently on a closed work permit working in Montreal.
My work permit document states that I am not authorized to work in any other location except Montreal.
I recently received ITA and submitted the documents. I would like to move to Ottawa and start working remotely while my PR application is in progress.
But I have a doubt about Ontario Health Insurance Card. Am i eligible to apply for OHIP with the work permit for Montreal location? I also have to apply OHIP card for my wife and son accordingly.
I need to take a decision in the next 2 days.
Please help.

There was a recent post about this in the Health section. People on work permits seem to be having trouble getting OHIP coverage if their employment is outside of the province: https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/ohip-when-working-remotely-for-employer-outside-ontario.792970/
