What is Student Travel Insurance?
Studying abroad is a fun and exciting adventure but it can also be a little unpredictable. There are so many new factors to consider from a difference in culture, language barrier and medical system. It’s important to be prepared by getting an student health insurance plan before you go. This will protect your finances against any unexpected medical costs.
Insurance for Canadian Students Studying Abroad
If you are a Canadian student moving to a different province or a different country for your education, you’ll need to make sure you have a International Student Health Insurance plan. In fact, most schools will require you to have a medical insurance plan prior to starting your classes.
If you are studying out of province, your governmental health insurance plan will likely need to be supplemented as several costs will not be covered. Protect your finances by ensuring you have the student travel insurance to cover any unexpected medical costs.
Insurance for International Students Studying in Canada
If you’re an international student coming to study in Canada, you should know that you will have to get your own International Student Health Insurance plan to cover you while you are over here. It can be very expensive to pay for medical and dental treatments in Canada. Without International Student Health Insurance, you’ll be required to cover the costs which can get very costly.
