Insurance for Canadian Students Studying Abroad
Did you know that the full benefits of your provincial medical health plan don’t travel with you? That means if you experience an emergency abroad, you could be stuck with costly medical bills. In fact, most schools require you to have a medical insurance plan before you begin your classes.
Insurance for International Students Studying in Canada
Medical and dental treatments are expensive in Canada and international students often can’t get provincial healthcare. That means if you experience an emergency, you’ll be responsible for paying for any medical care costs while you’re here.
International students in Canada
If you are an international student studying in Canada, a health insurance can be required depending on your status. Based on the residential ties you have with Canada, the International students are considered to be one of the following types of residents:
- resident (includes students who reside in Canada only part of the year);
- non-resident;
- deemed resident; or
- deemed non-resident.
It’s important to consider how you will protect you and your family in case of an emergency during your stay in Canada. If you do not qualify for provincial health insurance coverage you should purchase a private health insurance. The majority of universities and schools in Canada ask for such medical plan to complete your admission.
