Provincial plans, school plans and the gaps in between.
Whether international students are covered by the provincial health plan depends on the province. Some cover students after a waiting period, while others don't; in Ontario, universities use the University Health Insurance Plan (UHIP).
Gaps happen before provincial or school coverage starts, during travel home and after graduation. Students also need tenant insurance for their belongings and liability when renting.
