Start with your school’s insurance requirements
International students may have mandatory health-plan arrangements through their institution or student association. Check the current coverage required by your specific school and study program before buying a separate plan.
Students studying at Niagara College or Brock University should confirm which services, coverage dates, dependants and travel periods are included by their own institution. We do not represent either institution or its insurance administrators.
When supplemental coverage may be relevant
- A gap before school coverage takes effect
- Eligible accompanying family members not covered by a student plan
- Coverage after a student plan ends, while eligible to remain in Canada
- Services with limitations under the school plan, if an additional policy can fill the gap
Important review points
Emergency care, regular doctor appointments, prescriptions, dental treatment, mental-health benefits, exclusions and refund rules are not interchangeable across plan types. An ordinary visitors product should not be assumed to satisfy your school’s student-specific requirements.
