Canada is one of the best countries on the planet to study. Over 640,000 international students choose Canada every year. And why wouldn’t they? Canada has the best ethnic food, some of the best scenery, the best quality of life, one of the best places to work and raise a family, and one of the best healthcare systems. Of course, everyone wants to live in Canada. Unlike all the other great perks of living in Canada. International Students don’t actually qualify for the free healthcare system until they become Canadian citizens.
It can take from 1 to sometimes 3 years to become a citizen in Canada. This is why health insurance is extremely important. If you don’t get coverage, your experience may become a nightmare. Dental and medical drug costs can be through the roof expenses that could make it impossible for you to study. If you break an arm you might break your bank too. You may need to work 3 or 4 jobs just to pay for a procedure.
Luckily you can always call an insurance broker like the brokers at IFSG in Calgary and it may only cost you a few dollars to qualify. A little bit of peace of mind to help you enjoy all the bounties of our great nation.
