Hello everyone, has anyone applied for OHIP with PGWP recently?

I am wondering if Service Ontario requires the letter from the employer to state "full time" instead of the number of hours?

When I called them and asked if I could use my offer letter as it has the job position, my start and end date, etc., they said that it would be fine. I only noticed recently that my offer letter states 35 hours/week instead of full time, and I'm wondering whether they will reject it because of this.

Where did you call, I'm wondering if different offices apply slightly different rules?
A friend recently got his and they gave him a rather strict set of requirements which seem to be stricter than the official ones. I am trying to find it but letter has to be actually signed a printout wouldn't do, which was a problem due to remote work and had to state a bunch of stuff specifically.

I called this number: 416-326-1234

I received my health card already. They were okay with a digitally signed letter.
