Topic:
How can They Get Health Insurance Again?

All the members of my family are naturalized Canadian citizens, having lived in Ontario, Canada for five years. However, after attaining citizenship, we left Canada and our OHIP expired.

My two sons have now returned to Canada as full-time university students, but are having trouble getting health care.

As they are now in Quebec, OHIP has refused to renew their insurance, and Quebec has denied provincial health care because they are students. Because they are also registered as Canadian citizens at their university, the university assumes that they already have provincial health care and does not grant them their own health care.

Is there any way they can still secure insurance in this situation?
