Travel Insurance for International Students Studying in Canada
Importance of Travel Insurance for International Students
Traveling to a new place, especially abroad, can be a daunting experience. As an international student, you will have to think about a lot of different things, including travel insurance. Traveling abroad comes with a unique set of risks, and having travel insurance can help protect you in the event of any unfortunate circumstances.

Choosing the Right Travel Insurance Policy
Coverage
When selecting travel insurance, it is important to understand the coverage that you are getting. Make sure to read through your policy thoroughly to understand the extent of coverage. It is also important to know what the policy does not cover. Many policies will not cover pre-existing conditions and natural disasters, while some may exclude coverage such as alcohol-related injuries.
Cost
It is also important to consider the cost of the policy. Different policies have different levels of coverage and different premiums. Be sure to compare different policies to ensure that you are getting the best deal.
Coverage in the U.S.
Lastly, if you are traveling to the U.S., it’s important to make sure your policy covers you in the event of an emergency. Most Canadian travel insurance policies will provide coverage while in the U.S., but some may not. Be sure to check the details of your policy before you travel.
Conclusion
Having travel insurance is an important part of traveling abroad as an international student. Taking the time to do your research and understand the different policies available will help ensure that you get the best coverage for your needs.
Students
The Student plan offers those who are studying away from home a smart and economical way to help protect themselves against the cost of emergency medical and basic healthcare expenses and more.
Plans are available for full-time:
- International students studying in Canada or
- Canadian students studying outside their home province or outside of Canada.
Family coverage is also available for immediate family members residing with the student.
Inbound Students (International Students)
If you’re coming from outside Canada to study here, it’s important to protect yourself with medical insurance. While many medical costs are covered for Canadians, that protection does not extend to international students.
As an Inbound Student, this plan provides you with coverage for both emergency medical and basic healthcare expenses – up to $2 million.
Outbound Students (Canadian residents studying abroad)
If you’re a Canadian resident studying abroad, your government health insurance plan may only provide limited coverage, which may require you to cover expensive medical costs out of your own pocket.
As an Outbound Student this plan provides you with coverage for both emergency medical and basic healthcare expenses – up to $2 million.
National Students (for Canadian residents studying within Canada)
If you’re a Canadian resident preparing to study in Canada, but outside of your home province, your government health insurance plan may only provide limited coverage if you fall sick or get injured. You may be on the hook for expensive medical costs.
As a National Student, this plan provides you with coverage for both emergency medical and basic healthcare expenses – up to $2 million.
TRAVEL TIP: National Students while in Canada, pay a premium rate at half the cost of Outbound or Inbound Students
