International Students Emergency Medical Insurance

If you are a Canadian studying abroad or an international student planning on studying in Canada, the last thing you need is to worry about finances.

But, the reality is that the health insurance coverage you have in your home country or under a parent’s plan may not cover all – or any – of the health-related expenses you incur while studying in Canada.

Given the rising cost of emergency healthcare services in Canada, in the unfortunate event that you become sick or injured while studying here, the financial repercussions could be devastating.

Economical solutions allow you to focus on your studies

Fortunately, if you are a full-time international student under the age of 66, you can take advantage of comprehensive supplemental protection from leading insurance carriers through programs offered by SBIS.

We work with a number of insurance carriers to ensure you can find the right policy for your needs while you focus on your studies.
