Q. What immigration documents must I present to confirm my immigration status as an Applicant for Permanent Residence (previously called an Applicant for Landing) when applying for Ontario health insurance coverage?
If you are applying for Ontario health insurance coverage as an Applicant for Permanent Residence, you are required to present written confirmation from Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) that you are eligible to apply for permanent residence in Canada, which may be one of the following :
- CIC Confirmation Letter – letter on CIC letterhead addressed to the Applicant for Permanent Residence that confirms that the applicant is eligible to apply for permanent residency in Canada;
- CIC Immigration document such as a Work Permit, Visitor Record, Temporary Resident Permit or Study Permit with note in the "Remarks Section" that indicates that you have applied for permanent residence and the CIC has confirmed that you meet the eligibility requirements to apply for permanent residence in Canada.
Basically, what it said above is AOR. And, to be sure when you apply for Bowp, there is an immediate letter (automatically) that will send to you that allows you to stay and work for 81 more days after your wp expires. So, yeah, if your wp expires 12/31, you will get cover to around Mar 20-22. Bring that letter with the AOR with you to Service Ontario.
Hope this will give you peace!
Again, Take care!
