Ontario Hospital Insurance Plan (OHIP)

Ontario residents are eligible for provincially funded health coverage (OHIP), though to be eligible for Ontario health coverage you must:

Be a Canadian citizen or have legal immigrant status
Make your permanent and principal home in Ontario
Be physically present in Ontario for 153 days in any 12 month period

OHIP coverage normally becomes effective three months after the date you establish residency in Ontario. If you are moving within Canada, your previous province's health coverage may cover you for this period. The government strongly encourages new and returning residents to purchase private health insurance in case you become ill during the OHIP waiting period.

TO apply for OHIP coverage, provide three pieces of ID to confirm address, signature and citizenship/status.

Hamilton OHIP Office (8:30 am - 5:00 pm, Wendesdays till 6)
119 King Street West, 10th Floor
Hamilton, ON, L8N 4C8
(Ellen Fairclough Building, across from Jackson Square)
