iraqattaq Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 Maybe I am using the wrong search terms but does anyone have info on what qualifies you as IP Ottawa area? Is it like western where you had to attend HS there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatonekid Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 You have to have gone to high school in Ottawa (if you're at uni somewhere else) or have lived in Ottawa for 2 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supafield Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 I'm pretty sure by Ottawa, they mean the whole Champlain LHIN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pumpkin Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 What if I was born in Ottawa, live there for a year and moved out with my family? Are there any advantages to being born in Ottawa? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatonekid Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 what if you move to ottawa and start and undergraduate degree and remain in the city for two years uninterrupted? will this allow you the IP ottawa area status?Yes. You would meet the 2 years requirement. What if I was born in Ottawa, live there for a year and moved out with my family? Are there any advantages to being born in Ottawa?I don't think so. I believe that I was told you had to live here for 2 consecutive years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prothrombin Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 I'm pretty sure by Ottawa, they mean the whole Champlain LHIN. No, the Champlain LHIN is a separate group from Ottawa-Outauoais residents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better safe than sorry! No, the Champlain LHIN is a separate group from Ottawa-Outauoais residents.No it's not. They just have it listed seperately because some people are unaware about the changes to the Champlain LHIN. The Ottawa-Outauoais requirements are supposed to be the same as the Champlain LHIN requirements. I know a few doctors affiliated with UofO who were working on this.

supafield Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 what is Champlain LHIN? is this a separate region within Ottawa? Our province is broken up into regions called LHIN's (Local Health Integration Networks) Each LHIN is a region responsible for dispensing the funding in that area and overseeing the health in the region. The Champlain LHIN encompasses Ottawa, if you search a LHIN map... you'll be able to see exactly where the Champlain LHIN goes.

Try this link http://www.lhins.on.ca/FindYourLHIN.aspx Yeah im mega confused too. According to the website the Champlain LHIN encompasses all of Ottawa and the surrounding areas. Like i'm from Orleans, so would I be considered part of the Champlain LHIN or IP Ottawa? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be worth asking the admissions office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only people from Gatineau/Hull would not fall under the Champlain LHIN, but they would most likely apply to the french program anyways as it has a lower GPA cutoff.
