Hi all,
Just a few updates on my end!
CPC received my application on January 18th, 2016. I received my OWP in May 2016. I paid my RPRF a few weeks ago and received the request to complete a medical examination on February 28th. I have a medical exam scheduled for March 21st with Dr. Jegatheeswaran.
Does anybody know about how long it takes after completing the medical exam to obtain approval in principle? Also, does anybody know about the process of applying for OHIP once the approval in principle is received? Really looking forward to not having to pay for travel health insurance anymore...
Thanks for your input!

You are eligible to apply for OHIP any time after you start working full time. You will be granted OHIP 3 months after commencement of employment, providing, that you have satisfied the agent that your employment will last at least a further 6 months. They will need a letter from your employer outlining: start date, employment position details, expected end date (or ongoing or open ended contract). It must be signed by your employer.
As to your post regarding AIP: it is highly, highly unlikely that you've received AIP. Most of 2015 and 2016 haven't been receiving letters at all. Just document requests or medical requests or landing letters. SA and AIP have been all but bypassed.
We applied March 2016. Aside from a letter sent in error, we have not received anything. That's not to say we should have, or that we are the rule, but it is to say that, others have not received the letter from around your time line. So, use your employment letter, or wait a month, as you're probably landing very soon.
