International Student Insurance
Studying in Canada? Compare the best health insurance plans for international students — often less expensive than the plan imposed by your university, with more flexibility.
Why private insurance
Required coverage — at a price that makes sense
In Quebec, unless a social security agreement applies (France, Belgium, Denmark, Sweden, etc.), international students are not covered by the RAMQ. Private insurance is required by the Quebec Acceptance Certificate (CAQ) and by the university. Our role: find you equivalent protection at a lower cost than the institution's mandatory group plan.
- CAQ and university compliance
