Health Insurance

What is health insurance?

Why is health insurance essential?

There are relevant reasons for this requirement. Canada’s public health system does not cover international visitors. Because of this, valid insurance avoids high expenses and ensures efficient service. Furthermore, with the contracted plan, students receive immediate assistance when necessary, which reduces waiting time and improves the experience in the country.

How does coverage work?

Each plan covers different services, such as exams, emergency care and prescription medications. The choice depends on the duration and type of program. Therefore, it is important to check all the details in advance. The FCA team explains how it works, guides families and provides the necessary support throughout the student’s stay.

When does the insurance come into effect?

The validity of the insurance begins the moment the student arrives in Canada, as long as the plan has been previously contracted. This activation requires attention to deadlines and correct data filling. For this reason, we recommend organizing this step before your trip, ensuring greater safety and agility in the process.

Who provides support when using insurance?

FCA supports students at every stage, including when a medical need arises. Coordinators and teachers maintain direct contact with families and guide students in each situation. This constant care reinforces the commitment to the physical and emotional well-being of each student.
