Don’t take your health for granted
All international students in Canada must have health insurance. Medical coverage available to students varies by province, and where provincial coverage doesn’t apply, students must buy private health insurance.
Leaving your home country often means losing the benefits of your home health plan. Student insurance protects you against the cost of emergency care while you study.
What we help with
- Plans that meet your school’s and province’s requirements
- Coverage during provincial waiting periods for new arrivals
- Emergency hospital, doctor, prescription and repatriation benefits
- Coverage for returning students and those changing schools
Is this right for you?
- New international students arriving in Canada
- Students whose provincial coverage hasn't started yet
- Students whose school plan doesn't meet their needs
Frequently asked questions
Does my school already provide insurance?
Some schools include a plan in tuition, others don't. We'll check what you already have before recommending anything.
Can parents buy the policy from overseas?
Yes. Family members can arrange coverage before the student arrives so they're protected from day one.
