Health Care Insurance International students studying in Canada for more than twelve months are eligible to register for the Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan (AHCIP). Students with Study Permits valid for more than 3 months, but less than 12 months, may be eligible for AHCIP coverage if their application is accompanied by a letter from the student confirming their intent to reside in Alberta for at least 12 months. Please visit http://www.health.alberta.ca/AHCIP/register-for-AHCIP.html or http://www.health.alberta.ca/AHCIP/temporary-residents.html for complete information and application eligibility.

Students enrolled in programs under twelve months who may not be eligible for the Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan are still required to purchase health insurance through a private health insurance plan. Eminent College does not recommend a particular plan or agent, however can assist in researching available private health insurance companies that would suit the particular needs of a student.
