International Student Studying in Canada

When you’re an international student in Canada, you must have health insurance. Due to how medical coverage varies from province to province, international students aren’t covered under provincial health care plans in some provinces. In fact, students must arrange for their own private health insurance coverage. Health care costs if you aren’t a Canadian resident or citizen can be extremely high. If an emergency were to occur, hospitals could charge you thousands of dollars a day, as well as possibly a non-resident fee. That’s why the international student insurance exists. With international student insurance, you can protect yourself from these unexpected expenses while you are studying in Canada.

Travel Insurance for Canadians

With travel insurance for Canadians, Canadian citizens, as well as permanent and temporary residents, are provided with a solution to cover their medical and optional non-medical emergency expenses when travelling abroad, or even to different provinces in Canada. This can come in quite useful as your government health insurance plan will not be able to be used outside of your province of residence.

Eligibility Requirements

Canadian residents are insured under their provincial healthcare plans, however, these plans only cover a small amount of medical expenses outside of Canada. Furthermore, your provincial healthcare plan may only be limited to coverage only if you’re travelling to another province, and it’s possible that even the smallest of injuries can bring a significant setback to your budget. So, if you’re planning on going away, anywhere outside of your province, travel health insurance for Canadians will provide you with an easy an affordable solution to protect you from the costs of potential medical injuries.
