    OHIP Waiting period / Private Health Insurance

    So my partner got the Confirmation of Permanent Residency and we plan on applying for OHIP as soon as possible so we can begin the 3-month waiting period. But until the OHIP kicks in, can anyone recommend a good private health insurance company that can cover us for the first 3 months?

    And so did we! Guess they do send it out in batches. 8) We are in the United States, so I guess we don't have to send in our passports? just photocopies? Any one else from the US on this forum? Does that mean they will just mail us the COPR back and we bring it to the border? **Also, does...

    On ECAS, it says Decision made, but when I click on that, it still says they are waiting for a response for additional information which we replied to about 4 days ago.

    I think our plan is that I am going to move up in May. If my spouse is approved before then, beautiful, if not, then at least I will be up there working with an apartment which will look even better on our application. It will be an easier transition for my spouse as well as she will be the only...
