You may be out of the province for up to 212 days in any 12-month period and still maintain your Ontario health insurance coverage provided that you continue to make Ontario your primary place of residence.

To maintain eligibility for OHIP coverage you must be an eligible resident of Ontario. This means that you must :

-have an OHIP-eligible citizenship/immigration status; and
-be physically present in Ontario for 153 days in any 12-month period; and
-be physically present in Ontario for at least 153 days of the first 183 days immediately after establishing residency in the province; and
-make your primary place of residence in Ontario.

Is it necessary for us to have an original copy?

If you no longer have your original immigration documents, Service Canada may be able to obtain information from Citizenship and Immigration Canada on your behalf. In order for Service Canada to obtain this information, you must complete, sign and return the Consent to Exchange Information with Citizenship and Immigration Canada (SC ISP-3210) with your OAS application. Please visit our internet site at: www.servicecanada.gc.ca or call us to obtain the form.

A Verification of Status document will contain information that appeared on your original Record of Landing, Confirmation of Permanent Residence, Work Permit, Study Permit or other immigration documents. This document can be used when you must provide proof of historical immigration information, such as the date and place of entry to Canada.

Note: The actual document itself will not be issued, instead a plain paper document will be issued that will provide information about your immigration history.

-Students who are 16 or 17 years of age and who have withdrawn from parental control may register without a parent or guardian being resident in the City of Toronto.

Withdrawal from parental control means that the young person is self-sufficient, and is not reliant on either parent or on a legal guardian.

-Occasionally, at the time of school registration, a student under 18 years may be residing with an adult who is neither his/her parent nor legal guardian, as a result of family disruption or other extenuating circumstances.

The principal has the discretion to allow such a student to register in the school while legal guardianship arrangements are being made, and to monitor the progress of those arrangements until completion.

The principal may refer exceptional cases to the superintendent of schools for decision.

Failure to complete the arrangements in a timely way may result in the student being demitted from the school.

Discrepancies in residency obligations

If the PR card applicant does not appear to meet the residency requirement (e.g.,following an examination of the passport and travel history, input from the visa office, etc.) and insufficient H&C grounds are identified to overcome this shortfall, the officer writes a report under A44(1). The report goes to a Minister’s delegate, who may issue a removal order under A44(2). If the PR card applicant is inadmissible on grounds other than residency, the case will be assessed by the Minister’s delegate and referred to the Immigration Division. During this time, the applicant is still entitled to a one-year card, where there is no final disposition on the case whether it is at the report stage, the admissibility hearing stage or the removal stage. Similarly, if the PR card applicant is the subject of a negative determination under A46(1)(b), where there is no final disposition, the client is also entitled to a one-year card.

Pending or unresolved A27/A44 reports

The CPC-PRC contacts the CIC where the report originated. If there is no response after seven days and the report is over five years old, the application is processed and a five year card is issued. If there is no response and the report is less than five years old, a one-year card is issued.

R56(2) states clearly that a PR card application must be made in Canada.[...]The CPC may refer a case to a local CIC if all or part of the application originated from outside Canada, and if there are questions as to the client’s identity, status or residency history, or the authenticity of the documentation. Clients must report in person to pick up their card in Canada, in accordance with R58(3).
