Frequently asked questions
Answers to key questions about Student Travel Insurance.
Travel medical insurance can provide important protection for Canadian students studying abroad because provincial health coverage may be limited or not apply outside Canada. Having appropriate insurance in place before departure can help manage unexpected healthcare costs while abroad. It’s also important to understand how your provincial coverage works while you are away.
A stability period refers to a timeframe before a trip during which an existing medical condition must not have changed in a way defined by the policy. Insurers use this concept to determine how coverage applies to pre-existing conditions. The specific definition and requirements differ between policies.
International students in Canada commonly arrange health coverage for the duration of their studies. The type of coverage needed can vary based on personal circumstances, school requirements, and travel plans during the academic year. Reviewing available options helps ensure you have suitable protection for medical expenses while in Canada.
Choosing student travel insurance involves considering where you will be studying, how long you will be away, and the types of medical and travel situations you want covered. Comparing policy features, coverage limits, and assistance services can help you select a plan that fits your needs. Speaking with a licensed advisor can also help clarify how different options apply to your situation.
