According to the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP), newcomers to Ontario are not eligible for health insurance for the first 90 days of their residence in Ontario. Therefore, newcomers are recommended to buy private health insurance for the first 90 days.
Please make sure you buy your insurance policy as soon as possible since “some insurance companies have rules and deadlines for buying insurance. For example, for some companies, you might have to buy insurance within a certain number of days after arriving in Ontario.”
Also, remember “often, you cannot make claims until after a short waiting period.”
