It will be valid, in 3 weeks (August 4th). There is a 90-day wait for the coverage to be valid. Same goes for Canadians who move provinces...So even though when we got AIP Service Ontario told us OHIP will not be valid until 4 Aug 2017 ,once we have CoPR OHIP will be valid?
Service Ontario said they would mail the OHIP card just before the date it becomes valid.
