Thanks.

well the point I am trying to make is - why are the OHIP requirements different from CCRA. If I pay taxes to a country, I should be able to avail the benefits of that country (in this case OHIP). Otherwise I shouldn't bother paying taxes. So, if I pay the $750 OHIP tax every year on top of my regula...

Thanks for your reply nelsona. I had already bought ontario blue cross - the travel coverage for unlimited 15 days trips to US before I left Canada. I go back to canada every weekend.

Thanks for your replies. Can I get a MI license based on my ON license or would I have to take the written/road tests again? Does Ontario Michigan have some agreement over exchange of driver information or can I keep my Ontario License and still get a new MI license.

I will have to move to US for the I-485 processing stage (Adjustment of Status). Would I have to swap my ontario license...
