OHIP During implied state on a work permit

Hello everyone,

I currently have a work permit that will expire in 10 days and my OHIP card is also expiring on the same date. I applied for a work permit extension (same company) 1 month ago. Apparently application processing can take several months so I'm trying to figure out a way to renew my OHIP card to keep my health insurance till I receive a new work permit.

Looks like I should be able to renew OHIP card as long as my current work permit didn't expire. I'm planning to go to Service Ontario with all documents + Submission confirmation for my work permit extension + fees receipt.

Does anyone had a similar experience on this situation? Any advice is highly appreciated!
Have a great weekend, thank you!
