CoverMe^™ Travel for Students

Are you a Full-Time Canadian student studying away from home, either outside your home province or outside Canada?

Are you an international student studying in Canada?

When you're studying away from home, the least of your worries should be the high cost of medical care. And yet, your government health plan may not cover many of your medical expenses when you study abroad - even the most routine of health-related expenses.

Most post-secondary schools require you to have a medical insurance plan before classes begin. CoverMe Travel insurance for Students is the viable, affordable solution. It offers financial protection against the cost of basic healthcare needs as well as the unexpected medical expenses that result from an illness or injury and require emergency medical treatment or a hospital stay.

CoverMe Travel insurance for Students protects you from the financial concerns related to healthcare, so that you can focus on your studies and a positive education experience.
