International Student Emergency Health Insurance Plan
The International Emergency Health Insurance Plan provides coverage to International Students in the event of an emergency medical occurrence, accident, or illness while they are studying in Canada at Nova Scotia Community College. A pre-existing exclusion may apply to medical conditions and/or symptoms that existed before you came to Canada for study.
There may be limitations and exclusions that apply within the international policy. An exclusion is a condition or instance that is not covered by the International Student Emergency Health Insurance Plan. It's important to review and understand exclusions to the plan before using your benefits.
