student packages

Are you a Canadian student planning to study abroad or an international student studying in Canada?

Getting sick or injured away from the comforts of home can be especially stressful, so you’ll want to know you’re taken care of. That’s where our travel insurance for students comes in.

From Covid to a dental emergency, anything can happen. Getting sick or injured away from the comforts of home can be especially stressful, so you’ll want to know you’re taken care of. That’s where our travel insurance for students comes in.

Medical and dental treatments are expensive in Canada and international students often can’t get provincial healthcare. That means if you experience an emergency, you’ll be responsible to pay for any medical care costs while you’re here.
