Inland Application 2011

[Gemauru]

To those of you who applied for OHIP already- do you still have the 3 month waiting period even though your were living in Ontario already, or did you get your temporary "card" right away?

You have the 3 month waiting period from the date you got AIP.
Our letter was sent 26 Feb, we went to serv ont 5 March... coverage starts 26 May.

Quick question:

1. After sending your PR application, how many months does it take for CIC to send a sponsor acknowledgment letter? Is is 11-12 months?

2. After you do your medicals in a DMP, how long does it take for results to be available to Ottawa doctors of CPC. Thanks.

Thanks!

Well you got it partially...the coverage begins 3 months later after you apply. However emergencies like accidents and if you are a woman all pregnancy and related its checkups including labor are covered right away upon applying.

To be clear, I'm assuming you still need the OWP to work legally until you have PR. Otherwise no one would need to aply for OWP.

For sure, if you read the whole post we talk about OWP / SIN / OHIP...

I just made reference to the "nbr 9 SIN" as "good enough to work" because for some other stuff... is not so welcome.

1. They have only recently started sending a letter to let you know they have received your application. I didn't get one, but other people here on the forum seem to have them within two months of sending their app. It's basically when the mailroom opens the envelope.

2. DMP's will send the results to Ottawa within two weeks. Vegreville will only request the file from Ottawa after AIP is granted

They said 3 month from the letter's date... also remember than assurance maladie and ohip are not exactly the same...

The good thing is that my husband is not pregnant for sure, we don't have to wwory on that one... LOL!

Any news from April applicants??

 

[angtao]

Berber, have a look through the forum. Someone from April already got approved.

Just out of curiosity, does anyone know the reason why there is a 3 month wait for Ohio? What is the reason behind this?

Generally speaking, there is a three-month waiting period for Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) coverage. It applies to most new applicants for coverage and former residents returning to Canada after living in other countries for long periods. Please note that on April 1, 2009, changes were made to the OHIP eligibility rules under Regulation 552 of the Health Insurance Act.

Is anyone exempt from the waiting period?

Several groups are exempt from the waiting period. These include, but are not limited to :

newborn babies born in Ontario;
OHIP-eligible adopted children under the age of 16;
protected persons (Convention Refugees and persons in need of protection); and
people from another province/territory who move directly into a long-term care facility in Ontario, or who require admittance into a long-term care facility within 3 months of arrival in Ontario.
As a result of the April 1, 2009 changes, individuals who hold a valid Temporary Resident Permit (issued by Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC)) are now subject to the three-month waiting period. Note: this does not apply to Temporary Resident Permit holders who have been determined by CIC to be a Convention Refugee or person in need of protection.

Everytime they do an update it seems to be a couple of weeks behind. So I am thinking CanadianCitizen you should be getting a letter next week.
Good luck! It was 11 to 12 months.
