....but that the coverage doesn't lapse and therefore my emergency medical coverage doesn't lapse for the month between my birthday and my return to Ontario.
...there must be thousands of Ontarians (and tens of thousands of other Canadians from other Provinces) traveling long-term abroad over winter with health travel insurance, leaving before their renewal notices arrive, and returning home well after their various Provincial health care cards expire ! So, it makes sense that at least Ontario (and I assume every Province in the country) seems to have non-lapsing health care (ie. 7 month grace period for Ontario residents) for those traveling abroad.
