In or outland application, that is the question

Yeah, for sure, @canuck78

Part A

You must be able to answer "yes" to each of these statements:

• Your principal home is in Ontario.
• You were not away from Ontario for more than 30 days during the first 6 months that you lived here. That means you must be in Ontario for 153 days of the first 183 days that you live in Ontario.
• You are in Ontario for at least 153 days in any 12-month period.

and

• You are a Canadian citizen or permanent resident (including recently adopted children).

would be enough for many of the spouses being sponsored in Ontario.

Not sure what you are commenting on. Since when is Ontario a prairie province?

This was the requirement for Ontario. I am not sure about Prairie provinces.

I'm not sure what your question is. Your spouse will be eligible for OHIP as soon as she becomes a permanent resident.

(Note that normally OHIP has a three month waiting period, waived as a covid measure, no-one knows when it will be reintroduced.)

still confused as to what you are trying to say

What I am trying to say is once you meet those three items in Part A and the first item in Part B, you are eligible for OHIP.

As soon as she becomes PR and meet all the items listed in Part A; you would be eligible for OHIP.

Good to know that 3 month waiting period is no longer required due to Covid.

I'm not sure you understand how all that works - the criteria in section A basicallhy mean you're covered once you move to Ontario, as long as you've moved there and will be there for x days in the next six months, and thereafter for whatever number of days per year.

So for example: if she's in Ontario the day she becomes a PR - or lands and becomes a PR - she can basically go the next day to get OHIP coverage. As long as she doesn't leave for more than 30 days in the next x days. (And that would amount to them clawing it back, but let's not get bogged down in details)
