Student Travel Plan Overview
This plan is designed to provide coverage to full-time students or post-doctoral research students under age 45 who are either:
- Canadian residents studying outside their province or territory, or outside of Canada
- International students coming to study in Canada.
Inbound Students (International Students)
If you're coming from outside Canada to study here, it's important to protect yourself with medical insurance. While many medical costs are covered for Canadians, that protection does not extend to international students.
As an Inbound Student, this plan provides you with coverage for both emergency medical and basic healthcare expenses - up to $2 million.
Outbound Students (Canadian residents studying abroad)
If you’re a Canadian resident studying abroad, your government health insurance plan may only provide limited coverage, which may require you to cover expensive medical costs out of your own pocket.
As an Outbound Student this plan provides you with coverage for both emergency medical and basic healthcare expenses - up to $2 million.
National Students (for Canadian residents studying within Canada)
If you’re a Canadian resident preparing to study in Canada, but outside of your home province, your government health insurance plan may only provide limited coverage if you fall sick or get injured. You may be on the hook for expensive medical costs.
As a National Student, this plan provides you with coverage for both emergency medical and basic healthcare expenses - up to $2 million.
TRAVEL TIP: National Students while in Canada, pay a premium rate at half the cost of Outbound or Inbound Students.
