Assistência Médica
A cobertura médica é solicitada pela lei dentro da BC. O plano dos serviços médicos da província de British Columbia cobrirá todos os estudantes internacionais após um período de carência de três meses que consiste do mês de chegada em BC mais dois meses. Para solicitar esta cobertura, o estudante internacional deve fornecer o distrito escolar o visto e uma autorização atual de estudo que indicam a data de chegada no Canadá.

Health Insurance B.C. will cover all international students after the end of a three month waiting period. Health Insurance B.C. coverage is required by law in B.C. for all B.C. residents. To apply for this coverage, the international student must apply at this office with a passport and the current Study Permit upon arrival in the school district. At the end of the waiting period, Health Insurance B.C. will mail a Care Card to the student. Once the student has a Care Card number, he or she will receive medical services in the same manner as all British Columbians. Each Care Card has an expiry date. To renew the Care Card, students must provide the International Education office with a copy of the renewed study permit. This must be done every year while the international student remains in BC.
During the three-month waiting period for MSP coverage, the school district purchases private medical coverage on behalf of all of the international students. Effective December 15, 2006, we will be covered by:

For medical attention at clinics other than Carepoint and for hospitals you please read the directions in the policy or contact Claims Assistance at 1-866-595-7172 or (905)-315-3255.
