Guys,
What about OHIP? It says on OHIP's webpage that the person needs to be 153 days physically in Canada in order to be eligible for the OHIP (and some restrictions more). But I remember that when I received my PR it was only 3 months...
Any one have more information?

You are eligible only if you stay in Ontario (not Canada, Ontario) for at least 153 days each year (along with other restrictions), but you don't have to wait 5 months to get it.

Given that you are eligible, you will get your OHIP after 3 months in the Province and you will keep it as long as you stay in Ontario for at least 153 days each year

So with the OWP we can star the process to OHIP?

Only you got a full-time job at Ontario, then you can apply OHIP.

As @Vivian-inland stated, there are other requirements for OHIP, you can find it all here https://settlement.org/ontario/health/ohip-and-health-insurance/ontario-health-insurance-plan-ohip/who-is-eligible-for-ohip/

Basically, in addition to the 3-month wait period, the principal applicant will have to either find a job for a company based in Ontario that is due to last at least 6 months OR if you get the AIP

QQ for you @Brooks202 did you resent the OWP app or you just decided to send OWP app after?
And where can I check dates for Medical Received or Passed?
Thanks in advance.

Don't worry, you have plenty of time. It should take took long now. They won't take an extra 2 months to process your application, you should be hearing from them in less than 2 weeks

Hello Powerful Canada, Thanks for your reply. I am able to link our application today. NO AOR though. Does this mean completeness of our application?
