International students
All international students who study in Canada are required to have health insurance. Without adequate medical insurance, you will have to pay the full cost of any medical treatments, which can be very expensive.
As of Sept. 1, 2021, international students will have coverage with the Saitsa health and dental plan. It provides coverage for day-to-day needs, including prescription drugs, counselling, select dental services, massage therapy and more. This is a comprehensive insurance plan designed to secure your health and financial well-being from possible medical emergency treatment costs while you’re pursuing your education.
