Why It Matters
Everything You Need to Know
We compare student insurance plans from top Canadian insurers and explain coverage clearly so you can select the right policy for your study period.
Why Student Insurance Matters
Health rules differ by province and not every school automatically provides coverage to international students. A private plan protects you from unexpected medical bills while you study.
- Reduces out-of-pocket medical costs
- Covers you during your full study period
- Peace of mind for students and families
How EGE Insurance Helps

- Clear guidance, no confusion
- Help choosing deductible and coverage amounts
- Option to include spouse/partner and children
What Plans May Include
Coverage depends on the insurer and policy selected. Many student plans include both emergency and non-emergency medical support.
- Emergency & non-emergency medical care
- Doctor services & follow-up visits
- Emergency evacuation & repatriation
