Hello, recently my relatives recently re-entered Canada from a US land border by car with their Record of Landing documents after being away for a long time (before PR cards existed). Their lawyer advised them to not do anything for two years until they meet their residency requirement. The problem is he advised to stay away from any government institutions (OHIP, Service Ontario for ID etc.) until they apply for PR Card renewal. Can someone advise on how to get private insurance for them? I have done some research and only private insurance that is available is travelers insurance and that is not for PRs. They need coverage because their health is not the best.
Would applying for OHIP or an Ontario ID card raise a red flag, does the Ontario Gov exchange information with CIC? What could happen if they do share this information?
PS: they one of them has an expired Health Card from when they initially entered Canada, the other does not.
Thanks you in advance for the help.
