In the OHIP registration form, section B there are these 2 questions:


1) When did you arrive to Ontario?
2) When did you take up permanent residence in Ontario?

What is the difference?
Does question (1) refers to a landing date?

Did you land in Ontario and remained since? If yes, then it is the same date. If not, then 1 is when you landed or moved to Ontario and 2 is when you permanently settled in Ontario (meaning you actually set down roots to live in the province).

Landed in some date and then left for some time before settling down ~1 month ago


But they are not asking about "Landing date" but "When did you arrive". Thus the confusion

So this question is about the landing date?

Just read your other posts about your mother in law

1. February 2019
2. Depends on your answer to below, if you answer yes to all then it will also be February 2019.

You may be out of the province for up to 212 days in any 12-month period and still maintain your Ontario health insurance coverage provided that you continue to make Ontario your primary place of residence.

To maintain eligibility for OHIP coverage you must be an eligible resident of Ontario. This means that you must :

  • have an OHIP-eligible citizenship/immigration status; and
  • be physically present in Ontario for 153 days in any 12-month period; and
  • be physically present in Ontario for at least 153 days of the first 183 days immediately after establishing residency in the province; and
  • make your primary place of residence in Ontario.
If you will be out of the province for more than 212 days in any 12-month period, please refer to the Longer Absences from Ontario fact sheet.

The answer would be yes for the questions.
However the 153/183 after establishing residence would only happen ~this summer

I guess I'll put February 2019 for both. I just want to fill the forms correctly to avoid unnecessary trips to ServiceOntario
