Student Travel Insurance for Canadians Studying Abroad

For a Canadian Student Travelling out of the Country for their Education

Student travel medical insurance is critical because health care costs in other countries can be very high. Travel insurance for students provides coverage for both emergencies and non-emergencies. And it’s more comprehensive than regular travel insurance.

Student Travel Insurance Benefits

• Coverage for COVID
• Hospitalization fees for a semi-private room
• Ambulance (Ground or Air Transportation)
• Prescription drugs required to treat emergency situations
• Professional fees for nurses, physicians and other health care professionals for emergency medical treatment
• Services from licensed practitioners such as physiotherapist, chiropractor, chiropodist, acupuncturist, speech therapist and others
• Eye exam
• Emergency dental treatment
• Wisdom tooth extraction
• Psychiatric and psychological care
• Prescription glasses, contact lenses and hearing aids
• Tutorial services
• Trauma counselling
• Pre-existing conditions covered if stable in the 90 days prior to the start of coverage

And many more.

And if your child decides to travel while studying, they will continue to be insured (so long as they spend 51% of the time in the country of study).

For a Canadian Student Going to School in a Different Province

Canadian students who travel to another province to study still have health coverage, but only at the rates paid by their home provinces government health insurance program (GHIP). If there’s a difference, it’s up to you to pay for it.
