International Student Medical Insurance

Canada is widely recognized for its exceptional free Canadian health care system. However, it’s important to note that these services are exclusively accessible to Canadian citizens and permanent residents. As a result, it is crucial for international students studying in Canada to make appropriate arrangements for their health insurance. Before arriving in Canada, it is highly recommended by the Canadian government that international students acquire travel medical insurance. Despite the fact that Canada has a top-notch healthcare system, medical and dental costs can be quite expensive. With travel insurance, you can prevent the financial burden of having to pay for medical expenses on your own.
