Health

Canada is a socialist country. This means that every Canadian had access to decent healthcare, which is funded by each provincial government. The public system covers visits to doctors and specialists, as well as some hospital stay and procedures, but it does not cover dental costs, or prescription drugs, which many Canadians pay for though private insurance policies. This is because the provinces administer the system, the requirements for international students to access health care differs drastically across the country. Generally it can be said that international students have good health

services available to them at a minimal cost, but at a cost!! Health insurance must be arranged before your arrival in Canada. This may be as simple as registering yourself in the provincial insurance coverage or a compulsory enrolment in your university's health plan.
