Hey after much wrangling ministry upheld appeal and gave us OHIP. it was two fold- we were eligible because on a work permit( even though mine open) and other eligibility was the fact we have applied for PR with a letter from cic saying we meet eligibility. Seemples. ! Thank god because my son was rushed to hospital on sat with suspected appendicitis ambulance the lot it was terrifying . so glad we appealed as if it was up to the local OHIP office we would not be granted it, they were super unhelpful

That's good news 
You will be sent a bill for the ambulance though.

Awesome! Also, a good reminder to take things that people say on forums with a pinch of salt! Hope your son is OK.

Congratulations! I am very pleasantly surprised as everything official I had read pointed to you being refused. I'm very happy you got it!
Sorry to hear about your son, hope he is better now.
