When you travel abroad, your government health insurance may not necessarily go with you. Medical care in Canada is very expensive, and hospitals can charge thousands of dollars per day. Many Canadian hospitals charge non-resident fees to patients who do not receive coverage under the government health insurance program.
The Medical Services Plan (MSP) is a program administered by the British Columbia Health Insurance Board. It is a mandatory program for all eligible British Columbia residents. International students are eligible for MSP coverage if they have a student visa valid for six months or more and the student visa is valid continuously. But the plan has a waiting period of about three months.
