🏥 Welcome to my channel! 🏥
Are you an international student in Canada, currently on a work permit? Then, I have some exciting news for you! In this video, I'll be sharing my comprehensive experience of obtaining the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) Card, which has been a game-changer for accessing essential health care services during my stay in Ontario.
📋 Here's what you can expect to learn:

OHIP Coverage
OHIP covers many health services you may need, such as:
• appointments with your family doctor
• visits to walk-in clinics and some other health care providers
• visits to an emergency room
• medical tests and surgeries

Who can apply for an OHIP Card:
If one is in Ontario on a valid work permit and is working full-time in Ontario, for an Ontario employer, for at least 6 months if you meet this requirement, your spouse and dependents may also qualify for OHIP. If your work permit has expired but you hold “maintained status”, you may be eligible (please get in touch with Service Ontario for further information.

Documents Required:
1) Passport
2) Driving License
3) Any bill showing that you are in Canada for at least 153 days (can be credit card bill, mobile phone bill, etc.)
4) Letter from the employer stating that are you are employed and will remain employed or that you are a permanent employee
5) Work Permit
