Can't thank you enough for being on point in all your videos and being mindful of the viewer's time by not engaging in unnecessary banter. Secondly, thanks so much for addressing the key question on how to arrange for proof of residency in Ontario for newly landed immigrants !

[@HitSubmitCanada]

You're Welcome! Good Luck

Bro...Your videos not only are they straight to the point with great story-telling and exceptional communication, but they're exactly the type of videos people need help in their journey, truly relevant! I used your videos on 'how-to's' more than I used the guide for the spousal PR, and you were very kind and helpful when I reached out to you on Instagram, you're for the people! From the start of the journey (mar23 - Aug 28) Application submitted -> Medical Passed, close to homebased in 5 months man, hank you so much for putting things in perspective. Have a blessed day and thanks so much again!

What if I don’t have a job and I am on work permit? How can I be covered with health insurance benefits?

[@rafailkghmesyan1128]

Thanksss👍👍👍

[@spitthebeat]

For the work permit holders, do we need the employment letter as well for the OHIP? I think you have missed that, let me know if that is needed as well. Please!

[@flames6177]

Thank you so much

[@aymannegm238]

Thanks a lot for the great video. Just wanted to let you know that offer letters are not accepted 9:21. I went to service Ontario and they told me I need an employment letter which you can get after you start your job, so job offers do not work for work permit holders case.

[@HitSubmitCanada]

Thanks for sharing! I appreciate it.

[@meetchaturvedi999]

hello. thanks alot for the information. I wanted to know is there any compulsory waiting period before applying for health card as a first time landing PR?

[@hamza10102]

Hello, your information is to the point, thanks. moving with family on ICT(work permit), what documents required for dependent if they don't have job.

[@navneetkaur-oe7bx]

I am trying to fill the information in health care connect but it showing my last name invalid and i dont have any last name on my health card

[@solithecat]

Hi there! In the registration form where it asks you if you’re an immigrant returning to Canada, what should people reply? In my case I’ve been living in Ontario (first as a student and then as a worker) since 2017. I am waiting on my PR application at the moment. Also I was wondering if I should write down that I’m a new immigrant, since I’ve never been covered by Ohip? Thanks!

[@joeduterason]

Hello. Is there a difference between a PR health card and a Canadian citizen in Ontario? Are the numbers changed once you become a citizen from PR status? I asked this because, inspite of my being a Canadian citizen, my Ontario health card there is still written there PR after the 10 digit numbers of my health card account.

[@mfg5879]

That is the version code at the end of the digits. Every person has a different version code - yours happens to be PR

[@mehakfatima5388]

Is monthly statement is necessary or just the e statement of 3-4days transaction would work ?

[@meetchaturvedi999]

Do one need a health insurance to bridge the gap for 3 months before he can get health card as a new PR landing for first time?

[@sikandarriaz8164]

I am coming on 23 may On work permit Am I eligible right away? Or it will take 153 days to start?

Hi, when we land we intend to live in an Airbnb for first month. Can i open a checking account using this airbnb address for the OHIP then changing later?

[@user-gp6lj2bl5p]

hello, Im in Canada since 2018 with my work permit but never applied for a health card. I worked for all this years until now and unfortunately I just lost my job, can I still apply for heath card or not? thank you

[@harshitaahir4853]

Would it be a problem if the registered address on the bank statement and my mailing address are different?. I don't have my PR card so I can only use my bank statement as of now.

[@HitSubmitCanada]

You need to wait until you have the valid permit, and in active status

[@ancybabu7024]

Can i use my employment contract for applying OHIP. Because in that they mentioned the period of employment

[@TheboredConsultant]

This is helpful. I am planning to relocate on a work permit with my wife. She is currently pregnant 5 months. Wanted to check about are there any eligbility rules for the OHIP and challenges that could be in terms of delays and how fast can someone apply

[@tavinderdhaliwal6557]

Can we apply it on applied status...? I completed my study and now waiting for PGWP.

[@Malkeetsingh-rh1cb]

its the same process for refugees??

[@bj76681]

Bro I wanted to ask you doubt, I am working in Ontario with Open work permit and I have health insurance coverage from my company. In that case, should I apply for the OHIP card? Thanks in advance

[@HitSubmitCanada]

there could be a lot of things that your private insurance might not cover, so you can avail those facilities through your OHIP.

[@bj76681]

@@HitSubmitCanada got it. thank you.

[@coolpras26]

Should you actually fill section B in the form if you're on PGWP (meaning you were already living in Canada as a student)? It says 'the date 'leaving' cannot be later than the moving in address, which doesn't make sense because let's say I moved to Ontario in 2021, lived in multiple places since, but I'm just going to apply for OHIP now as I started working full time NOW after finishing college.

[@Kechi.e]

Hi. Did you figure this out?

[@bhavyasingh8379]

How long will it take to get Eligibility letter?

[@kunalchitnis184]

Hi, do we have to be in Ontario at least six 5 months before we can apply for OHIP? The website says we have to be in Ontario for 153 days. Just wanted to confirm this as I am getting mixed opinions.

[@HitSubmitCanada]

5 months is not a requirement. I got it immediately

[@harjotshergill]

Hi Did you apply? Is there any 5 month condition now?

[@saileeladevineni7737]

Thanks for information it was so useful. I have a doubt my employer address is in BC and my job is work from home so i stay in toronto will i be elligible for ohip?

[@HitSubmitCanada]

you need to have a permanent residential address in ontario to be eligible for OHIP

[@kaurdeepu2910]

Bro I would be thank you if you provide me with a job letter sample for applying OHIP for work permit holders. Please reply 🙏

[@jikkuabraham2621]

Hi, just a doubt as I thought the bank will generate the statement only after a month. Glad to know we will get it right away. If you don’t mind which bank chequing did you open for your wife?

[@HitSubmitCanada]

TD

[@aurangzeb1873]

What about the 153 days requirement to live in the province? Can I apply as soon as I land as PR or do I have to w8?

As long as you have valid residence, you can apply. No waiting

[@arushinayyar3091]

Hi, I have just landed last week and I am staying in a temporary residence right now, which is an airbnb. So how do I go about that?

Hi sayush, my application got returned due to a missing document. Did you made any changes in the form other than changing the date of signature when you resubmit the application? Can you confirm? Thank you

[@HitSubmitCanada]

i checked to see if the form was updated, at the time, it was not, so no changes except signature and date

[@arfathhassan5096]

Hi. Does the insurance cover PR people the moment they land or do we have to take private insurance ?

[@HitSubmitCanada]

its not as soon as you land, you get coverage as as soon as you apply, whenever you do that after landing(assuming you have all the documents)

[@movingdoodles1510]

Does it apply for the spouse?

[@lenpc79]

Hi Suyesh, would you know if BC has Ohip kind also? Or only after I become a PR that I could get health card?

OHIP is for ontario here is a link for BC www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/health/health-drug-coverage/msp/bc-residents/personal-health-identification/your-bc-services-card

I acquired a COPR (spousal sponsorship within Canada) yesterday, and I want to file for an OHIP . Inorder to get a proof of residency. I just opened a checking account with TD Bank, and it appears like it takes a month to get statements. Is this true? To get statement, must we wait a month? After a month only can we apply ohip? please respond

[@HitSubmitCanada]

No, I got the basic accounts overview statement right away from TD webpage(EasyWeb). Even though there was little balance.
