We are moving to toronto as federal skilled worker. for the first month I will be living in a furnished apartment. so could you please let me know if i could apply to OHIP or I should Waite until i rent an apartment and have a utility bill with Toronto address on it ?
I have my SIN and bank account that shows an alberta address from when I landed but i did not apply for alberta health card as I did not live there permanently. would that do it or I could submit the rental agreement of the furnished apartment ? but the problem is that the utilities are already included in the price of the furnished apartment so i wont have an utility bill?

Just remember to keep proof of your landing date in Ontario like Ticket and boarding pass. Much easier to wait until you have a permanent address. Very common to wait and no matter when you apply the OHIP start date will begin 3 months after you landing date.

Let me get if got it right . Do you Mean even if i do not have a permanant address once I land and I continoue living in for example ( extended hotel suite ) I will still be able to get health card after three month!!
I thought I could only get the OHIP CARD 3 months from the date I go and submit the application for OHIP
Just to confirm what you guys are saying, so if I land II don't apply to OHIP right away and then when I move to permanent residence (lets say 2 months from landing) , does this means I could go and apply for OHIP and I will only need to wait for one month !

thanks zardor for your confirmation , this is really going to make it easy for me as getting to rent an unfurnshed condo need time and I may stay at an airbnb or hotel for the first couple of months.
