Applying for OHIP - questions
First off I am in Canada on an IEC visa. I have some questions regarding my eligibility for OHIP. I've been working for as a contractor (via an agency) for my employer for the past six months. Recently they've taken me on full time directly with them.
My understanding for eligibility for OHIP is you need to be employed for three months and then your employer needs to confirm that they will employ you for a minimum of six months. In addition to this you need to be in Ontario for a minimum of 153 of the last 180 days and be resident in the province.
So far I have met the last two requirements but I am unsure if I meet the first two. Can anyone advise when I will be eligible for OHIP? Will it be now or three months in the future?
