There are some good news I would like to share with everyone:
After receiving the OWP last Friday, I got SIN and OHIP today!
SIN was easy. I had an old SIN number from before so I just got it renewed with my OWP at Service Canada;
I got OHIP for a year @Service Ontario but wont be eligible until 3mos later, and the lady was saying if I still havent gotten PR one year from now on, I can come back to renew again for one more year... You will need to bring ur passport(for signature use)/OWP(Case27 indicates you have applied for PR)/driving license(with your address on) and showing the article "Canada launches pilot program for spouses waiting for permanent residency" (telling them at the bottom it says "This would also allow the applicants to receive provincial health coverage while awaiting permanent residency.") They probably wont allow u to show them anything on electronics so try to print out and tell them its on CBC.news! Let them know you dont need to have a job offer to get OHIP under the pilot program starting Dec 22nd, 2014... Anyway after her phoning someone, she was happy to take my photo and send me a paper saying I can get OHIP in 3mos
Good luck to everybody and hope AIP&DM are coming soon!!!
