Leaving Canada

How long can I be outside Canada before my OHIP expires? Will OHIP be effective at all?

For comprehensive information on OHIP coverage duration outside Canada and the extent of coverage, visit the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care website. Don't forget to contact OHIP before departure, notifying them of your plans and obtaining authorization for extended absences. Prioritize your safety - secure travel insurance the moment you confirm your international travel plans.
