When is the best time to purchase insurance for an international student in Canada ?
Ideally, the policy should be purchased before coming to Canada, so that the student will be covered upon arrival in the country.
However, if insurance was not purchased before arrival, it is always possible to do so afterward. In that case, most insurers impose a waiting period ranging from 48 hours to seven days before the coverage takes full effect.
Eureka Travel Insurance’s agents can help you find the ideal solution, based on the many offers available from different insurers.

Is it mandatory for students to purchase insurance for emergency medical expenses ?
Some educational institutions require students to have travel insurance coverage for emergency medical expenses relating to an accident or illness.
While Canadian students abroad from Quebec may be covered by the Régie de l’Assurance Maladie du Québec (RAMQ) in some countries, the student will still be billed for certain costs, such as repatriation to Canada and other non-covered expenses. Repatriation from the United States to Quebec alone could cost around $30,000.
Family coverage option
If you’re a student living abroad with your family for your studies, you can enjoy greater peace of mind by obtaining family travel insurance that provides the same level of coverage for your spouse and children.
