Hi
1. You just exchange your DL in Ontario and apply for OHIP, your MSP covers you during the waiting period.
Thank you. Do I need to call and cancel my BC msp plan ? Also does The monthly Ohip cost the same as the BC counterpart?
I arrived in June 2018. No I haven’t used my msp before, but I’ve been paying my msp monthly fee for 5 months now
You believe you just meet the residency requirement if I remember correctly but you also haven't used your MSP. There are directions only on how to transfer to OHIP but there is a waiting period. Don't cancel your MSP and payments until you get your OHIP. Not sure your reasons for moving but the cost living is still high in Toronto just not as bad as Vancouver. Tough to survive as a Lyft or Uber driver.
I highly doubt that. As far as I know, most Uber drivers here can't even make minimum wage (considering all the costs involved).
