Asa - To be honest, I'm not sure. As I understand it, Canadians are "not allowed" to purchase health insurance but, instead, MUST participate in the national plan (i.e., government run, with all that implies). However, as an international student & non-Canadian (presumably) I'm not sure. Here's what I'd suggest: 1. Do an online search for "international health insurance AND canada" and see what you find. 2. Do an online search for "health insurance coverage AND "canadian broker" to find a local broker who may be more familiar with what's available. 3. Check with the Registrar's office at the university; they should have a list of resources available (after all, you can't be the 1st student to have this question). 4. Contact International Corporate Benefits and see what options or ideas they might have (http://www.ezicb.com). Hope this helps a bit!
