Alright a few quick questions- being a Canadian and moving to the States, I understand the insurance thing and I know I will have it for myself and children BUT..... what is the general rule of thumb when it comes to maintaining OHIP coverage.. or other provinces aswell. When I move does that mean I am no longer covered in CANADA? What if I am home on vacation (in Canada) does my health card still work? And the kids, since they are still coming back here to spend time with their father - does the health card thing keep up for them? There are rumors about if you come back to Canada every 6 months and touch Canadian soil you do not lose health care coverage. Just wondering.... Thanks.

Hey there... I went online and applied for mine, and it was at my door in 3 days! Google your province and birth certificates- see if you can apply online. Hint: I needed specific details my weight at birth my parents address at the time of birth - things I did'nt know off hand.... anyway good luck.

I did the same, applied 1 month after final divorce papers in hand, no worries, not a problem. Just remeber they want a copy of the divorce decree. ( it actually takes almost 30 days after the final divorce happens to get in hand.) Good luck!

Okay so new at all of this what does touched mean and how are you tracking your progress? I only have the refrence # and was wondering how exactly to track everything.
