Insurance when studying in Canada

Are you planning to study and live in Canada? Besides the paperwork, study abroad insurance is also something you should pay attention to because all international students are required to participate in health insurance throughout their studies.

Below are the types of insurance you need to consider

1. Public health insurance
Public health insurance for international students will be provided by public hospitals in each different province.

For public health insurance, you are only limited to medical examinations in the province you purchase and can only use certain services.

If the provinces do not provide insurance programs for international students, you will have to purchase an individual insurance package.

2. Personal health insurance
Personal health insurance for international students in Canada gives you full benefits that provincial insurance does not provide... However, the cost is higher than public health insurance.

3. Health care services for students by province
In emergency situations, all provinces will provide free services even if the patient does not have government health insurance.

However, some services provided may be limited depending on a person's immigration status.
