Thank you Murali. Agree with what you say. We will definitely carry basic medication but if not for my husband & I, would you recommend that we at least take a private insurance for 3 months for my son. As we would land by Aug end and then we have to wait at least till Sep 1st week to look for a house and from then on, we have Sep till Dec to get our OHIP. So, just keeping him in mind.

So, are there any insurance companies you recommend and approximately how much would it cost?

Here is a little help. Read through all of this material. It is very educational, besides being informative. It might come handy if you do not have additional supplemental for the first three months after applying for your Health Card.

There are some tables from an archived location provided here for guidance. Call them and ask for their new rates, in case you decide to purchase a basic policy to cover hospital stay.
