The assurance to study worry-free

Planning to study abroad? Although this stay is sure to be rich in new experiences, life goes on and health issues can happen anywhere at any time. Without a policy tailored to your needs, you could lose sleep over things other than your exams, such as the cost of checkups, eye exams and medical care of all kinds.

Insurance for Canadian students abroad

This plan is designed specifically for you if you are planning to further your education outside of Canada. It protects you against unexpected costs resulting from a serious accident or medical emergency.

Why is insurance for Canadian students abroad necessary?

Your provincial health plan will only cover a portion of your medical expenses when you travel abroad. That’s why it’s essential to obtain insurance coverage for your emergency medical care before leaving your home province. Such a policy covers hospitalization, emergency medical care and repatriation, among other things. It’s best to be prepared for the unexpected as these costs are usually exorbitant. Please note that to be eligible for this product, you must be covered by your provincial health insurance plan for the entire duration of your stay outside your province of residence.

If you are an international student planning to further your education in Canada, this policy is designed specifically for you and your dependents. It covers the unexpected costs that arise as a result of an accident or medical emergency.

Why is international student insurance necessary?

As an international student, you are not covered by our national health insurance, so a simple visit to the doctor can cost a lot of money. Hospitalization, for example, can cost thousands of dollars. If you’re an international student, or someone close to you is, it’s important to be protected from unforeseen events that could jeopardize your financial future.

Remember

Most institutions of higher education will require you to provide proof of health insurance coverage prior to the start of the semester.
