Ontario Travelers OHIP & Taxes

Irene,
I think your out of luck as far as OHIP is concerned. The 5 month rule is one of the reasons 'snowbirds' only go south for a few months.
As far as taxes, having worked in both countries, I know you will have to file in both countries and declare how much tax you paid the other. The US and Canada have tax agreements. If you go back and forth frequently it may be beneficial to hire a tax expert who deals with people such as yourself who cross the border to work. You can usually find someone like that in border towns such as Windsor or Niagara Falls.
Aren't taxes fun??

Did you ask exactly what OHIP would cover? I'm just curious because I was told they don't cover all fees.

Fergus,
I think she is concerned about OHIP coverage when she is in Ontario between assignments in the US. Hopefully if you are travelling in the US you have US health insurance. Am I right Irene?

Gotcha! I was thinking maybe I got ripped off when I bought insurance to cover me down here until my work insurance came through

That's what I was told. I moved down here for the second time about 2 years ago and got my own insurance because $1000 is nothing. I went to a walk in clinic in January and my bill there alone was over $250.
