Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship 2019

[lenalucky]

A suggestion for those having parents in Canada and waiting for PR approval process:

OHIP card requires the COPR document, foreign passport and a Canadian address proof document. I would advise to prepare the last document ahead of time. Easiest way is to apply for Ontario ID card or Drivers License. Also an option is to open a bank account or get a postpaid phone line.

With Ontario ID card and DL , you have to wait for 2-3 weeks for ID to arrive in mail.
With bank account or phone, you will have to wait for a month, as the Service Ontario folks ask for the monthly statement that gets mailed to your home

If you do this after you get COPR, there will be roughly a one month wait (or whatever time it takes you to get the address proof) to get the OHIP card.

My father had gotten DL, so he got the OHIP card right away. For my mom and mother-in-law, we now have to pursue one of the options

Could you please clarify, is passport request considered to be a CORP document?
Can we apply for OHIP while waiting for invitation to portal?
TIA

Hi,


My parents got selected in PGP2020 draw and received their medical in March, 2022. My Mom has a creatinine level of 2.5 (normal is 0.9-1.4). The medical was done in India. She is also diabetic but not severe. Will that create a problem in getting her the Permanent Residency. As for my Dad's report, it is fine.

Can someone please help if you have any info.

Regards,

PPR or PR approval is not equal to COPR
As per service ontario website, you are eligible for OHIP if you applied for PR and have not yet been denied and you meet the eligibility requirements. I dont know if IRCC would provide such a letter.

Its a grey area, and you will need to do a lot of talking and convincing at the service ontario office and at best , they will give you a temporary health card.

Not true for the comment on "communicable diseases" only.
But I don't know if a newly installed pacemaker vs one that needs replacement soon would make any difference.

Your question can only be replied accurately by the IRCC medical review team.
You have already received positive opinions from the forum members.
Just do medical when requested and wait for the result.

My mother has a pacemaker and the first medicals were all okay. Re-did it again since those expired.

@Xoo another reply on your query.
Most probably your dad's medical will be passed but only IRCC will decide that.
Don't worry and make your father attend the medical test.
