OHIP Application Restrictions for OWP Holders

Here is my situation:
For a 2 years I was using University Health Insurance Plan, provided to my spouse and me, and I've never applied to OHIP (as UHIP has more benefits). Now I hold full-time position in company in Ontario. But my Work Permit expires on December 1. We applied for Post-Graduation Work Permit and Open Work Permit. But at least for 1 month we will stay in Canada under the Implied Status. During this time we can't use OHIP.
So my question: can I apply for OHIP now (as I have 3 weeks until my current OWP expires)? In December we will have to buy 3rd party Insurance, but it would be great if we can later claim costs under the renewed OHIP...
On the official WebSite of Ontario Ministry of Health I couldn't find any restrictions to WP expiration date.
Thanks for your help! |
