When or if you get PR that'll change.

So your illness has to be life threatening for your insurer to pay out? Would you not go to emergency by ambulance for life threatening illnesses?

Temporary foreign workers who hold a valid work permit may be eligible for OHIP coverage. The worker must be employed full-time for an employer in Ontario for a minimum of 6 months and :

Maintain their primary place of residence in Ontario; and
Be physically present in Ontario for at least 153 days in any 12-month period, and
Be physically present in Ontario for 153 of the first 183 days immediately after establishing residency in the province

Documents you will require: http://www.forms.ssb.gov.on.ca/mbs/s...e/9998-82E.pdf

Go to your local Service Canada centre where they will process it for you.

Are you certain an IEC holder fits the description of Temporary Foreign Worker though? Just a question because if so it's news to me.
