Hi all! I'm currently waiting for permanent residency but I have an open work permit. I know the OHIP eligibility requirements stipulate that I must have a letter from an employer saying they'll hire me for 6 months but currently I make my money by selling my artwork online and for commission. Is there any way I can get OHIP as a self employed person? Sorry if this is in the wrong section of the forums.
Thanks
Jack
