HEALTH CARE PROGRAM - ONTARIO

[skywalker]

HI FRIENDS,

AS YOU MAY KNOW, AFTER REGISTERING FOR HEALTHCARE INSURANCE PROGRAM, YOU HAVE A 3 MONTH WAITING TIME PERIOD IN ONTARIO.. QUESTION IS ; WHEN I DO MY FIRST LANDING AND DO THE NECESSARY APPLICATIONS (PR, SIN, MEDICARE..), AND COME BACK TO HOME LAND IN 10 DAYS, IS THE 3-MONTH PERIOD WAITING OR GOING ON , EVEN I AM NOT IN CANADA?

THANKS..

You are not actually supposed to register for health care until you live in Canada but they probably would not know that you left.

dear friends,
do they control the 3 month period from the passport ? or how?

If you went and registed convincing them you have already moved to Canada, I do not know if they ask for evidence of that but I do know in AB they ask for some paperwork to show that you are living there, can be a bank statement, utility bill, lease etc. then the counter goes on. Do you have an address for them to mail your health card?
