There was a mix up with my provincial and extended work benefits and I was only informed yesterday that they both expired on Sept 30, (which is not what I was told when I enquired BEFORE Sept 30) but anyway, that means I have not been covered for the last month and a half... Do you have any idea if this will affect the decision for PR? I have travel insurance now but I can't prove that to them unless they ask right?You can only have a health card if you are working and your current permit is still valid. Most provincial medical programs do not acknowledge implied status. So if this is the case short term travel insurance is always a good idea.
Hope this helps
