It was a local branch and they were kinda of surprised at the document i showed them like they haven’t even heard/seen such.. lol i will just wait till i have COpr. can’t begin to give myself unnecessary stress right now because of health card when i have insurance i can easily use incase anything happens
EDITED: Sorry I hadn't seen your earlier response about the MPP potentially taking a long time. Contacting my MPP and working with them actually didn't make the process feel like it took a long time, it was a matter of a few weeks (like 3 max) rather than months. That said, differently MPPs work different. If you are already in Stage 2 requests (medical, police, etc), then waiting for COPR is not a problem because as it should be cleared quickly. Plus you seem to be insured otherwise. If you have the sense that it could take longer (for example, you are not at Stage 2 requests), then just know that the MPP doesn't necessarily work slowly.

You seem to have a handle on things either way ^_^

I have the exact same timeline as you and I still haven't heard anything. Mine was based on hardship and establishment. got Aip in September 2020 too. sent my application in Jan 2019 and still waiting. Did they send you COPR yet? Congrats to you man!
Hi Andy! Yes, I got COPR. Hopefully yours comes through soon! Did you get your Stage 2 requests yet? To be fair, I was told that the gov't could take six weeks or more before reaching out to me for the Stage 2 requests. My timeline for medical, police etc was pretty fast.

For anyone else interested in getting their OHIP as an AIP. You can either contact your MPP to ask them to contact the OERC (Find your MPP tool) or contact the OERC yourself. Here is the information:

Requesting a review
If you are told that you do not – or no longer – qualify for OHIP, you can request a review of the decision.

To request a review, send OHIP a letter, fax or email with:

  • the reason why you believe you qualify for OHIP
  • additional information or documents to show you qualify
  • up-to-date contact information
You can send the letter and copies of documents by:

  • email to: O E R C [at] ontario [period] ca
  • mail to:
    OHIP Eligibility Review Committee
    Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care
    See address on website below.
We will review your submission and reply with a written response. We may also follow up by phone.

If the child is Canadian.
If not the payments will be from AIP date.
One of the parents must have a valid status.
If any member here has a different opinion He/She can help
Hi me2020 my child's was Canadians do you think I can get the retroactive payments?

Well, I wouldn't say you shouldn't listen to your lawyer. I'm my own case, my refugee appeal is with the federal and I'm a psw. If you check the pathway website, you will see where it specifically says "if you are a H&C applicant, ask us to transfer your application to the Pathway ". This is what I'm doing because the officers are prioritizing the essential worker application. So, the ball is in your court. Check the link below.

It’s just the best thing to do in this case since you have not started your H&C application. Straightforward

Hi guys, please how do you process police clearance certificates from countries you have lived in more than 6 months? Is there a form you will fill and send to those countries ? Do you do it for children or adults alone? Is it email we will get from those countries or hard copies ?

I knew about the second option but was told it might be a long process so I just did not use. I continued buying a private insurance for my relative every 3-4 weeks while waiting for the COPR. Then we got the OHIP from the SO main office relatively smoothly.
