Reapplying for OHIP
If you’ve been out of Ontario for more than 212 days in any 12‑month period, you may have to reapply for OHIP at a specialized ServiceOntario Centre that provides the full-suite of health card services. You can call Service Ontario to be sure.

Visitors to Ontario from other Canadian provinces and territories, or from outside Canada, do not qualify for OHIP.

You must apply for OHIP in person at a ServiceOntario centre.
