Do I need to buy medical insurance before I leave home?
Canadian participants are usually covered by their province's health insurance. Should a medical consultation be necessary during your stay, there may be fees to pay. It is important to verify your province reimbursement and compensation policies. Please note that it is very important that you bring your health insurance cards.
Non-Canadian students must procure health insurance before leaving home. It is also possible to buy insurance here, as soon as you arrive at the University. Non-Canadian students enrolled in a graduate program are automatically covered by the UQTR's mandatory health insurance policy.
