Ohip for adopted children

I had a little trouble applying for ohip for my son when we got home.  Adopted children under 16 get ohip right away.  There is no waiting period of 90 days If you provide the proper information.

Going to a service Ontario location you new to complete their required form.  Also, you will need the document you receive from immigration at the airport.  The key document which will waive the 90 day waiting period is the letter of no objection.  You would've received this document a long time ago.  Well before receiving your proposal and going to Russia.

I had to educate the staff on this as they were unsure.  Be firm and come prepared.
