Plans for International Students

When travelling outside of your home country, your government health care plans don't travel with you. Health care costs in Canada are very expensive. Hospitals can charge thousands of dollars per day, with many Canadian hospitals charging a non-resident fee to patients not covered under a government health insurance plan.

Ideal if you are:

  • Enrolled in at least 60% of the required courses for a specific program at a Canadian school, college, university or accredited educational institution
