The Saskatchewan Polytechnic Students' Association would like to provide international students with an Emergency Student Medical Coverage plan, including Emergency Repatriation and Transportation, known as mycanadaplan.

How will mycanadaplan help international students?

Who are eligible?

Only international students will be assessed this fee on their tuition. All members who have paid their SPSA student fee have the right to cast their vote on this issue.

Your vote will support international services for international students studying at Saskatchewan Polytechnic.

What is mycanadaplan?

The mycanadaplan coverage will help international students with any unforeseen emergency medical expenses and the financial impact when having to pay for out-of-pocket healthcare costs. These are the costs associated with doctor insured services that are not covered when facing an emergent medical occurrence while travelling to or studying in Canada for school.

What is the cost?

Year 1 - $150.00
Subsequent Years - $72.00 (Repatriation & Emergency Transportation Only)

The first 30 days’ coverage provides a bridge to medical care while students have their applications processed for the Saskatchewan Provincial Health Services.

The coverage would also provide for benefits that are not covered by the Canadian healthcare system, such as repatriation and family transportation to bedside (when applicable) for new and continuing students.

Have your say on this issue, please vote on January 31^st in the SPSA Referendum!
