Your eligibility for Ontario health insurance coverage is based solely on:
you having one of the above OHIP-eligible citizenship or immigration statuses, and
you making your primary place of residence in Ontario, and
meeting the physical presence requirements.
Everyone, including babies and children, must have their own health cards. Always carry your health card with you. You should be ready to show it every time you need medical services.
Staff can help you determine whether or not you are eligible for Ontario health insurance coverage.
