Health Insurance
Your tuition payment includes mandatory one-year health insurance for international students while you are in Canada. It is highly recommended that you purchase your own travel insurance if arriving in Canada before this date. Students who do not confirm with the International Coordinator that they are planning to arrive and begin classes will not be automatically registered for this insurance and therefore will not be covered. Medical attention can be expensive in Canada, so it is very important to have this coverage. Your policy will not cover pre-existing conditions.
