OHIP Extended Coverage
My partner and I are leaving on our extended journey at the end of September for an undetermined amount of time (more than one year). I am researching travel health insurance but am finding that most plans require the traveller to be covered by a provincial plan as a requirement of coverage.
I understand that under the new Ontario guidelines, a resident can have continuous coverage for 2 years if they have applied for an extension. It seems as though the extension is only available for work/study/or charitable reasons. As we aren't really planning to encorporate work, study, or charity (this one is a maybe), I was wondering if anyone had applied to get extended OHIP or provincial coverage for strictly travelling purposes??
