International Students need to make certain they have adequate insurance to cover any medical care or accidents they may have while they are in Canada. If students do not have an insurance plan they will be responsible for paying all costs for medical treatment themselves.
The requirements for international students to access health care differ between provinces. Contact the schools to which you are applying to receive more information about medical coverage and health insurance. Some universities or colleges may provide their own student health/ dental plans.
It is advisable to purchase private insurance in your home country prior to departure. However, medical insurers in Canada are authorized to provide this service to those who apply within 5 days of arriving in Canada.
