Hi ,
I got a new Bridging Open Work Permit on mid Nov 2013 for one year (i.e. expiring Nov 2014). I went to Service ontario to renew my heath card based on this NEW work permit end of Nov .
FYI- I had a closed work permit expiring mid of Dec 2013 .
I have got this letter dated 1st week of December from Service Ontario related to my health card . Anybody has any idea ?? Did somebody else received this kind of letter ??
"The Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care is responsible for ensuring that only eligible registrants have access to publicly-funded health services. ServiceOntario is responsible for ensuring the accuracy of the information recorded in the ministry database under Section 11(2) of the Health Insurance Act.
The document identification recorded by the ministry from your work permit is not the same as the information in Citizenship and Immigration Canada's records.
Please forward a PHOTOCOPY or SCANNED COPY of the front and back of your most recent Canadian immigration document(s), along with this letter, using the enclosed envelope, or the fax number or email address provided below. Please provide a telephone number where you may be reached during the day.
If there has been a legal name change which differs from the name on your immigration document, please send a copy of the legal name change document as well.
This information must be received by Feb XX, 2014 even if you have been issued a new health card, to ensure that there is no unnecessary interruption to your health coverage.
Thank you for working with us to ensure that our records are accurate, thereby protecting the integrity of the Ontario health care system."
