OHIP changes

[SaugaBoss]

you have submitted an application for permanent residence in Canada, and Citizenship and Immigration Canada has confirmed that you meet the eligibility requirements to apply for permanent residence in Canada (please note: applicants for permanent residence are no longer required to provide confirmation of having satisfied the Immigration medical as a condition for OHIP coverage);


does this mean outland Buffalo applicants can apply since i am eligible to apply for my PR card? (i had no luck with the midwives all of them are booked)

Sauga -

I believe this refers to inland applications that have received AIP (i.e. first stage approval).

I assume the same- once you have AIP inland with that letter you can apply for health card.

grrr so this doesnt apply to me either!

Hi Sauga,

No - unfortunately it doesn't apply to you.

Since you are applying outland and will be living in Ontario, you will qualify for OHIP 3 months after you land as a PR.

Sorry!
