Yes I believe so but not 100% sure will have to take that up with Service Ontario.
Important OHIP eligibility info for all PR applicants residing in Ontario
- Thread starter Intel
- Start date
The apply reject appeal flow only works once you have received “approved in principle”, which is a step before CoPR being issued. It’s usually not much in advance of that on most applications.
AIP is not usually shared with the client, but sometimes shows up on paperwork.

Yes, but inland applications can get a work permit and most applicants will get OHIP through that before AIP comes into play.
Sponsor approval is very early in the process so you are usually months away for AIP. She still has all the background checks to go through
Hi all, hope somebody can help me to clarify the situation with OHIP for my dependent child. I received AIP letter recently and get OHIP, but my daughter (19 y.o) was refused because her name was not mentioned in this letter. The same time she got her Ontario Photo ID without problem. Is dependent child not eligible for OHIP? Or should we try to attend other Service Ontario office and ask there? Thank you
I asked IRCC who issued my AIP if it is possible to issue the same letter on the name of my daughter and they denied.
Hi jn1234,
Hope you're doing well.
Apologies for bumping an old thread. My wife and I are in the same situation as you were a few years ago. Just wondering if you were successful in following the steps outlined in the first post and obtaining OHIP for your spouse.
We received the Sponsor Approval letter in December 2023. Our online tracker for the PA shows eligibility has been completed.
Thanks!
Your spouse will only qualify for OHIP for an Outland application once they have PR or if they have an OWP and have a full-time job that is scheduled to last over 6 months. There are many spouses now coming to Ontario during sponsorship discovering they have no access to public healthcare. This is especially an issue for pregnant women who will be expected to pay out of pocket for any care and may struggle to find an OB willing to take on private patients since many have full patient load. Midwifery care was already hard to secure but have become even more difficult to secure since so many uninsured are trying to access this service. Sadly many did not consider access to healthcare when deciding to sponsor from within Canada. Would expect to pay out of pocket for care and finding care may be difficult. Some hospitals also do not accept non-OHIP patients expect in a medical emergency.
This is incorrect. As previous users have noted, you do not need to have PR or a full-time job for over 6 months to qualify for OHIP. You just need to be eligible for PR.
Not sure how outland applicants would qualify:

The outland applicant will need to move to Ontario on a TRV and make it their primary residence with the possibility of receiving OHIP before receiving PR status.
