Health care costs in Canada are very expensive. Hospitals can charge thousands of dollars per day, with many Canadian hospitals charging a service fee to patients not covered under a provincial health care program.
So International student need this kind of Hospital and Medical insurance plan.
But who is eligible for this insurance?
1) You must be enrolled for a minimum of 60% of the usual course requirements in a Canadian school, college, university or accredited educational institution.
2) You must also be a resident of Canada on a temporary basis.
3) You are also eligible if you have completed your studies and remain up to a year in Canada to work in the field of your studies.
4) You can insure your spouse and children under your policy.
Sounds good.
What about the age limits?
Cover age is available for persons from 15 days to 64 years.
And sometimes you will have a trip outside Canada, does it cover it?
Yes, you are covered for acute emergency sickness or injury on trips outside of Canada up to 30 days in duration.
