Hi all,

I am just wondering about OHIP and the 153 day rule (must be present for 153 days in the first 6 months)... What do they count as a day? Like if I left on Friday and returned on Monday, do Friday and Monday count as days out of Ontario because I was out of the province for part of the day? Or does it just have to be full days?
I totally forgot about this rule and am panicking about vacations that we have taken/planned... I'm assuming they can pull the border records?

Any advice will be appreciated, thanks!
