OHIP and Post-Graduate Work Permit

I will be applying for a post-graduate work permit soon and do not completely understand the requirements.

The law states that:

"Open work permit holders (including those in CIC’s Post-Graduation Work Permit Program) may be eligible for Ontario health insurance coverage provided they are employed full-time for an employer in Ontario for a minimum of six months"

I already have a job offer for a part time position that will transition into a full-time position after a satisfactory three months of working. Does this mean, then, that I am allowed to apply for OHIP only after I have been working full-time for six months, as in somewhere around April 2011?


Thank you.
