I came across this information and I'm not sure either it's true or not: "If you marry outside Canada and wish to move back to Canada with your spouse, the "Outside Canada" application would leave you without health care for 15-24 months while the "Inside Canada" application would qualify you for health care within 2-3 months."
If I got married in Ontario, would I qualify for health care within 2-3 months if I apply from within Canada?? Or do I have to wait the processing time that would take about 11 months to get that benefit?
I'm not sure if that "paragraph" is old though..

Thank you.

If you apply Outland, you will get health care in Ontario 3 months after landing as PR.

I'm not sure how it works with inland.... Maybe you get health care in Ontario after first stage approval, which takes about 12 months.... But maybe not

No, you would get OHIP after 3 months waiting period after landing as PR, so it depends on time to process the outland app.

With inland you start waiting period after stage 1 approval, so 12 months stage 1 + 3 months waiting period = 15 months wait to get OHIP.
