Travel Insurance for Students in Canada
Benefits of Student Travel Insurance
While the government of Canada is known for its subsidized medical care for Canadians, the majority of these services are restricted to Canadian pupils and residents. As a result, all foreign learners enrolled in Canadian schools must obtain medical insurance for the length of their studies.
Anything can transpire, from a campus flu, pandemic, or an emergency medical situation. Some travel insurance plans DO NOT PAY for COVID-19 related expenses (check the wording in your policy). When family members accompany a student on a trip, they require separate coverage as the family plan health coverage is more expensive. Being sick or injured away from home can be very upsetting, so you’ll want to know you’re being looked after. This is where Experior steps in with student travel insurance coverage.
- Specialist Discount
If you don’t have health care coverage, you might be charged higher amounts for doctor consultations. This can be avoided as the insurance company has agreements with specialists to pay substantially reduced consulting costs. Travel insurance coverage may also cover dental benefits while away from your home country. Always check to make sure you have the right benefits at the right price. The lowest cost is not always the best.
- Confirmation of Admission
Universities and institutions require confirmation of a health plan before fully accepting a scholarship or admission application. However, in addition to considering the new universe of possibilities that could potentially open up for you, you’ll need to consider the administrative side of things as well. Getting the correct insurance benefits is one of the most crucial preparations you can make. There is a large student insurance market with varied types of coverage, so you’ll need to consider the variables, such as the duration of stay, air transportation, air ambulance, and other bills that could arise. You will also need to make certain this coverage will conform to the school’s requirements.
- No government health insurance plan
Government-funded emergency medical services for international students are unavailable in most cases. Additionally, there is a waiting period for landed immigrants. Furthermore, healthcare expenses are normally high and are expected to rise annually. You are responsible to pay your medical costs in the event of a medical emergency. Having a health insurance policy gives you and your supporting family peace of mind. School is an expensive part of a budget; adding medical expenses on top of that already hefty school bill can seem an overwhelming thought.
