Seguro Médico
La ley de la provincia de la Columbia Británica estipula que se requiere cobertura de servicios médicos. El Plan de Servicios Médicos de la Columbia Británica (MSP, por sus siglas en inglés) cubrirá todos los estudiantes extranjeros después de un periodo de espera de tres meses que consiste del mes de llegada del estudiante a la Columbia Británica más dos meses. Para solicitar dicha cobertura, el estudiante internacional debe proporcionar al distrito escolar su pasaporte y actual Permiso de Estudiante en donde se indica la fecha de llegada a Canadá. Para mayor información sobre cobertura médica, favor de consultar la siguiente página:
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:
