Canadian Student Studying Abroad
International Student Studying in Canada
Why is the international student insurance required?
It is wise to purchase medical insurance for your own safety, regardless of whether you are studying abroad or travelling. At first, living away from family abroad can make it difficult to bear the burden of education and to take care of oneself. The second problem is the expensive Canadian health care system, making it very difficult for a student to pay for medical treatment with college fees.
Canadian residents are covered by the free health care system, but students and visitors are required to pay; international student insurance or private medical insurance is a suitable alternative.
What is the cost of an international student health insurance plan?
It costs between $600 and $900 for international students to get health insurance in Canada each year. There are many companies offering coverage for around $600 per year, with total coverage of 2 million, and some medical expenses, such as dental treatments, medicines, and physiotherapy, are covered up to a dollar amount.
You can find out the cost of medical insurance for international students by clicking on the link above. International student health insurance plans are also available in group plans. We have the best group policies. Contact us today and start designing a group policy for your students.
Can I get health insurance after getting a student visa?
There is still a chance that you can get insurance even if you arrive here uninsured, but please keep in mind there may be a delay in starting your coverage.
If we buy the policy before landing in Canada, there is no waiting period. Read the policy terms and conditions for further information on waiting periods.
Does a Student Insurance Plan Cover Pregnancy?
There are many international student insurance plans that do not cover the normal birth of a child, but do cover complications during pregnancy. In contrast, some companies offer to $10,000 in coverage for childbirth.
If you are an international student and are planning to have a baby, contact us today for adequate insurance.
Pregnancy insurance has many limitations related to regular checkups, pregnancy weeks, so before buying, carefully read the terms and conditions.
If you buy coverage after pregnancy, it will cover the complications of pregnancy but not the cost of childbirth.
Provincial health care card or health card.
To receive free provincial healthcare services in Canada, you need a health card. Immigrants, work permit holders, and some other status holders may receive health cards from their provincial governments, depending on their eligibility. Do you qualify for a health card? Click the link to find out.
After applying for the first time for OHIP in Ontario, you may have to wait up to three months. After three months, eligible Canadians receive this card, but students cannot apply for it until they have a work permit. As soon as they get a work permit and become eligible, they can get a health card.
How to get a health card?
In each province, we can get health cards from the relevant service providers. In Ontario, for example, one can apply for a health card by showing an acceptable ID.
Do not share your health card with anyone else, because anyone can misuse it and sharing a health card can be a criminal offence.
The Provincial Health Card also has further limitations, as it does not cover dental, vision, physiotherapy, prescription medication, etc. A separate health and dental coverage is available for these services.
I recommend that all students studying in Canada take out international student insurance, as it is difficult to cover the cost of treatment with tuition and living expenses.
