One of the requirements for OHIP is an address proof in Ontario. So although there's no waiting period, how would a landing immigrant have an address proof to submit to Service Ontario? Anyone with an idea if there's some exception to it or any workaround?

Most people secure a permanent address rather quickly.

Why would there be a work around ? I’ve lived in Ontario for 30 plus years and I have to show proof of residency

You must stay 153 days from September 22nd, make your permanent home in Ontario and also be in Ontario for the next 6 out of 12 months.
