OHIP after AIP?

[weerth]

Hi everybody,

I´ve been trying to find an answer about this topic on the forum but nobody seems to be 100% sure about it.

Can we apply for OHIP after getting the AIP even without having a job? I´m in Ontario.

Thanks!

Pretty sure you can apply for OHIP in Ontario after residing in the province for a full 3 months. It does not matter whether you are working or not....it is a residency issue.

Hi KJG,

I´ve been living here for more than 1 year but just got my AIP. Should I wait 3 months then or I´m already eligible to apply?

Thanks!

Yes, you can apply for OHIP. Just make sure you have something that has your CANADIAN address on it
