OHIP Card Renewal

[PalCan]

Hi, my OHIP card is expiring in Aug 2003. I am in US with valid I-94 & I-797 but no visa on passport. Without going to Canada, would that be possible to renew the OHIP card from US?

Can anyone provide some Info/links on that. Thanks.

NO! You cannot renew your OHIP from US. Have to go in personally to renew the OHIP card.

not legal

you are aware of course that what you are proposing consitutes insurance fraud?..............

Vault, rzz1gv....Thanks for the responses.

rzz1gv.....what do you mean by Insurance Fraud, applying from outside Canada or something else? (If it had to be renewed in person, obviously one has to visit Canada, then is there a question of fraud?)

If the OHIP is expiring in Aug '03, what would be the appropriate time to apply for a renewal (in person)?

Thanks again.

Preferebly 4-6 weeks before the expiration of the existing card.
