Costs for emergency services are at an all-time high and show no sign of reprieve. Students studying abroad and on fixed incomes are especially susceptible to medical expenses, and the last thing they want to spend these fixed monies on is an unforeseen accident, or emergency medical occurrence while studying in Canada.

Considering these points, the Red River College Polytechnic SA has worked to design and implement a reasonably priced emergency medical insurance plan for the duration of a student’s benefit year as determined by their study term. This plan will assist students in dealing with unforeseen medical expenses that can arise because of emergency medical care, accident, or illness and provide support while maintaining their educational goals.

With a mandatory plan, the insurance risk is spread over a larger number of students, thereby lowering the cost per student, making the fee in a range that is affordable to students. An individual international student medical insurance plan can cost as much as 5 times the current student fee.

No, although it is similar. Your International Student Medical Insurance Plan- mycanadaplan, plus provides similar coverage to residents with provincial health care in that your emergency plan covers emergency medical care, injury, or accidents that are unforeseen while studying and residing in the province of study. Provincial health care in the Province of Manitoba provides coverage for doctor-insured services under the province in the event of an emergency medical occurrence or physician visits.

The fees for International Student Medical Insurance Plan- mycanadaplan, plus will be assessed automatically by the institution at registration and is a mandatory plan.
