Hello,

Thank you for sharing your situation and question with us.

To get a Health Card (OHIP), you have to fill out an application. You also need to collect some documents to submit with your application.

You can apply as soon as you have the documents that you need. However, you will not get a Health Card until you are eligible - after the 3-month waiting period.

You can find detailed information in our How do I apply for a Health Card (OHIP)? article.

I hope this information is helpful. Please let us know if you have further questions and if there is any follow up to your question/situation.
