If on SOWP you and your child can apply on arrival but will only get coverage in 3 months.

My husband is on work visa. And me and my daughter are dependent on him.. We will be there on dependent visa.. In that condition, can spouse(wife) apply the health card immediately after arrival?

No you don’t qualify in Ontario. Wife doesn’t qualify for health coverage if only the husband works.

Do you have TRV or SOWP?

I have modified my answer. At first thought you were on TRV.

You will be qualified for OHIP only after 3 months. For those 3 months, please check with your husband's organization, if they have PHIP replacement coverage. If yes, go for it. If not, then you should apply private health insurance for 3 months until OHIP kicks in.
