Canada- Doctors: You NEED an OHIP Number for PR | NC Jain Immigration |

Key Changes: The “Self-Employed” Advantage
Historically, most OINP streams required a formal job offer from an Ontario employer. However, the unique nature of medical practice—where many doctors operate as independent contractors—often made this a difficult hurdle.

Under the new rules, physicians in the following National Occupational Classification (NOC) codes are now eligible to apply as self-employed individuals:

NOC 31100: Specialists in clinical and laboratory medicine
NOC 31101: Specialists in surgery
NOC 31102: General practitioners and family physicians
New Eligibility Requirements
To benefit from this expansion, applicants must meet specific professional and regulatory criteria:

CPSO Standing: You must be a member in good standing with the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario (CPSO).
Provisional Certificate: For the first time, physicians holding a provisional certificate of registration are now eligible. This is a vital change for those who are “exam-eligible” but have not yet completed their final Canadian certifications.
OHIP Billing Number: Applicants must hold a valid Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) billing number, proving they are authorized to receive payment for publicly funded healthcare services.
Practice in Ontario: You must be actively practicing (or intending to practice) within the province.
Note on Postgraduate Licenses: The OINP has removed the postgraduate license from the list of eligible licenses for self-employed applicants, as these holders typically do not have OHIP billing privileges. However, they may still qualify under the standard Employer Job Offer stream if they have a qualifying offer from a hospital or clinic.

Why This Matters
By allowing doctors with provisional registration to apply, Ontario is “rolling out the red carpet” for foreign physicians who are already in the province but were previously stuck in a “licensing limbo.” This change allows them to secure their permanent status while they work toward full independent licensure.

Action Required: Re-Submit Your EOI
If you were previously ineligible or had an Expression of Interest (EOI) in the system that did not reflect these new credentials, the OINP invites you to update your profile.

If you now hold a provisional certificate: You should re-submit your EOI immediately.
Existing Applicants: You can request to update your interest by contacting the OINP via their official webform or by replying to recent program correspondence.
