Student Insurance

Canadian student travel insurance is specifically designed to cover unexpected medical expenses and other travel-related issues while studying in Canada. It is mainly intended for international students who are studying in Canada for a short period of time, such as a semester or an academic year.

Generally, Canadian student travel insurance also includes coverage for emergency medical expenses such as hospitalization, medical fees, visits and prescriptions. In addition, it may include compensation for trip interruption or cancellation, emergency medical evacuation and repatriation of remains. Some policies may even offer additional coverage for things like lost or stolen luggage, travel delays, or accidental death and decay.

Medical Expense Coverage

If a student need coverage for doctors, hospitalization, prescription drugs, emergency services and medical evacuation as a student, you should choose this type of coverage.

Emergency Medical Evacuation Insurance

This coverage ensures that students receive prompt and appropriate medical transportation to the nearest hospital in the event of a serious illness or injury that requires specialized care not available locally. It covers the costs of returning doctors to their home country, if necessary.

Emergency Assistance Services

Many travel insurance policies offer emergency services, such as 24-hour helplines that provide access to medical professionals and help in emergency situations, including medical assistance, translation services and treatment coordination.
