@ABWAQAR Did you receive any update? like @unforgettableseries mentioned, might be worth ordering GCMS notes, if you haven't done so
Thanks for the follow-up. My wife received eCOPR yesterday but her picture and address are still in review status with IRCC. My question is, do I have to apply for my wife's PR after receiving eCOPR, or will they automatically send it to us? Also, do you know how long it takes to process PR card these days?

FYI - I paid about $5,000 for hospital bills in September 2024. I applied for an OHIP card but Service Ontario asked for an AIP for my wife. I showed them my AIP (Eligible to sponsor as I am a Canadian citizen) and also my wife's online eligibility as approved, but they did not accept it. Her online Eligibility status was changed in May 2024. Anyway, I will apply for reimbursement of medical bills, which most likely won't work, but I will give it a try.

Hi. Good to hear from you. You do not need to apply for a PR card (for the first time). Please try linking the PR card application to the gckey to get some idea of when they will deliver it to you. I can't say how long, sorry!

Sorry to hear about the OHIP thing, hope all works out soon!

There is more to the story here. If you showed the AIP, there is no legal reason for them to deny you.

What are the facts here? Did you lawfully submit the required documents to receive an Ontario (or your respective province) Health Card? Do you have a Health Card?

Honestly I don't believe your story. If you have a valid AIP and present it at a ServiceOntario office there is no reason you can be denied. There are anecdotal stories of this happening but I call B-S.

What was the reason they "did not accept it". They will not just turn you away. 100% false story.

Sorry the story seems to have holes.


There are sites that tell you processing times, and of course they I'll automatically send you the card. Do you even read what they send? I don't understand how you can become a Canadian Citizen without even being able to read English.

i don't know why you have to make a big deal out of it?
if you read his reply carefully i believe he didn't have the actual AIP, only SA and the tracker show eligibility is completed
i never have an actual AIP either

When I got my AIP, the first service Ontario denied me a health card. So I walked into another service Ontario, there was no problem at all. Maybe some people at service Ontario just don't know what they are doing or are racists.

You are right. I remember reading his comments and he said he didn't receive the AIP letter and he did send a webform or something but he didn't receive any response...

That poster received an "AIP" of the sponsor. Which is normally referred to SA.
I don't think they've ever received an official AIP of the PA.

Hey good to hear about Ecopr.. how long it took you to get Ecopr from P2?
and also sometimes they approve Ecopr and your photo and address stay in review.
