Why your registration date matters

Your <a href="/oap-funding-guide" class="text-blue-600 hover:underline font-medium">AccessOAP</a> registration confirmation email contains your registration date. This date is your position on the OAP waitlist — earlier registration means an earlier place in line for Core Clinical Services funding.

AccessOAP contact information

Phone: 1-844-727-8376. Monday-Friday: 8:00 am - 8:00 pm. Saturday: 9:00 am - 5:00 pm.

Online portal: <a href="/oap-funding-guide" class="text-blue-600 hover:underline font-medium">accessoap</a>.ca — use "Forgot Password" for login recovery. AccessOAP is run by Kinark Child and Family Services as the designated provincial service provider.

Step-by-step recovery guide

Lost invitation email: 1. Check spam and junk folders immediately — search for "<a href="/oap-funding-guide" class="text-blue-600 hover:underline font-medium">accessoap</a>" or "Kinark". 2. If not found, call 1-844-727-8376. Staff can resend the invitation or help you complete registration. Lost login credentials: 1. Go to accessoap.ca and click "Forgot Password". 2. If the reset email does not arrive, check spam. 3. If still inaccessible, call 1-844-727-8376 for identity verification and account reset.

Changed email address: Call 1-844-727-8376. Have your child's OHIP number, date of birth, and name ready. Email changes cannot be made through the portal — they require phone verification. Never received a confirmation: Call 1-844-727-8376 immediately. Ask <a href="/oap-funding-guide" class="text-blue-600 hover:underline font-medium">AccessOAP</a> to confirm whether your child's registration is complete and what registration date is on file.

Moved provinces and returned to Ontario: Call <a href="/oap-funding-guide" class="text-blue-600 hover:underline font-medium">AccessOAP</a> — your registration record may still exist. Depending on circumstances, your prior waitlist position may be restorable. Do not assume your registration is gone — ask.

Why your registration date matters

Your <a href="/oap-funding-guide" class="text-blue-600 hover:underline font-medium">AccessOAP</a> registration confirmation email contains your registration date. This date is your position on the OAP waitlist — earlier registration means an earlier place in line for Core Clinical Services funding.

With 67,509 children currently waiting for Core Clinical Services, and waits averaging 5+ years, even a few weeks of registration date discrepancy can matter significantly.

If you are uncertain of your exact registration date, call <a href="/oap-funding-guide" class="text-blue-600 hover:underline font-medium">AccessOAP</a> and ask them to confirm the date on record. This is your right as a registered family.

Frequently asked questions

Check your spam and junk folders first — <a href="/oap-funding-guide" class="text-blue-600 hover:underline font-medium">AccessOAP</a> invitation emails frequently land there. Search for "accessoap" or "Kinark" in your email. If the invitation is not in spam, call AccessOAP directly at 1-844-727-8376 (Monday-Friday 8am-8pm, Saturday 9am-5pm). AccessOAP staff can verify your identity and resend the invitation or help you proceed with registration.

Go to <a href="/oap-funding-guide" class="text-blue-600 hover:underline font-medium">accessoap</a>.ca and use the "Forgot Password" link on the login page. If your account is inaccessible through that process, call AccessOAP at 1-844-727-8376. Staff can verify your identity and reset your account credentials.

You cannot change your email address through the <a href="/oap-funding-guide" class="text-blue-600 hover:underline font-medium">AccessOAP</a> portal. You must contact AccessOAP by phone at 1-844-727-8376 to update your email address. Have your child's information ready to verify your identity.

Your OAP registration date is the date your <a href="/oap-funding-guide" class="text-blue-600 hover:underline font-medium">AccessOAP</a> registration was completed — it determines your position on the OAP waitlist. This date should be in the confirmation email AccessOAP sent when registration was complete. If you cannot find that email, call AccessOAP at 1-844-727-8376 and ask them to confirm your registration date. This date is critical — even a small date discrepancy matters.

If you never received a confirmation email, your registration may not have been completed. Call <a href="/oap-funding-guide" class="text-blue-600 hover:underline font-medium">AccessOAP</a> at 1-844-727-8376 immediately and ask them to check whether your child is registered. If registration was not completed, complete it without delay — your waitlist position starts from the date AccessOAP confirms registration is complete. OAP registration does not expire as long as the child is under 18 and an Ontario resident.
