It is the student’s responsibility to have medical health insurance coverage for medical expenses. Out-of-province students continue to be covered on their own provincial health insurance. Landed immigrants living in Alberta are considered Alberta residents and must apply for Alberta Health Care within 30 days of their arrival in the province. International students living in alberta for one year or more will also qualify for Alberta Health Care coverage. If a student’s Visa is for less than one year, they are required to purchase private health care coverage prior to coming or on arrival in Canada. Applications for Alberta Health Care and private insurance are available from LCC Health Services.
