Topic:
Approval letter for OHIP? How to obtain?

Hello everyone,

I am the sponsor of my spouse. We submitted our PR application in January and we have already received her Open Work Permit. I understand that once you have received an Open Work Permit, you are considered to be "approved in principle".


She has private health insurance, but it's running out in a few months, so I want her to apply for OHIP.

We went to Service Ontario with the work permit and all of our ID documents, but we were sent away. The person working there told us that we need to obtain an "approval in principle" letter from CIC.

I have tried to find more information about this online but have been unsuccessful. I have also tried calling CIC but have not been able to get through. Does anyone know how to obtain this letter, or who to talk to?

Many thanks!
