Hi Guys... I am travelling in a weeks time as a COPR, just wanted to check if I would be covered under OHIP starting DAY 1 or should I get my own insurance for the initial 90 days???

Thanks in advance!!

According to the Ontario government website, the waiting period for health cards is currently waived. You should be able to get coverage right away if you meet the eligibility requirements and have the correct documents.
