Topic: I'm moving, when can I update my ID cards?

Hi,

Last week, I exchanged my US driver's license for an Ontario G license and gave the address of my friend's home where I am staying till the end of the month. I am yet to apply for the Health Card. I have now signed a lease starting on August 15 for a condo.

I was confused about whether I should use the lease agreement as proof of residency and apply OHIP on the new condo address or wait for the license card to arrive, use the old address for OHIP and then change the address for both? If I use my lease agreement to apply OHIP on the new address, once I get my license card in the mailbox, will there be any issue in updating the address online for the license?

Is it okay to have the addresses different on license and OHIP, or will it be an issue? I would appreciate any guidance on the approach. I want to do the right thing.
