Medical insurance whilst waiting for OWP/PR

[Jeffuk88]

I'm currently on an IEC WHV and so I have 2 year travel insurance for the duration of this (an extension on the 1 year I had prior)... I also have OHIP currently because Ive worked the necessary 3 months.

Once my visa runs out I will lose Ohip whilst waiting for for the OWP to come through... I've also been told I can't extend the travel insurance again whilst living outside of the UK but I can't leave canada whilst waiting for my OWP.

does anyone know what can be done so that you're health is covered during this wait?

Buy health insurance.

Do you know of any that cover general health? I can only find insurance for medical emergencies that send you home if you're well enough

My insurance while a student was with "sunlife financial". It worked just as the OHIP would work, but I paid annual payements.
