Ï㽶ÊÓƵ

Canadian students are covered by their provincial health insurance while studying at Ï㽶ÊÓƵ, with the exception of those from Quebec.

Students from Quebec

The Province of Quebec has not entered into a reciprocal billing agreement with physicians from other Canadian provinces.

This means that if Quebec students need to access a physician while attending Ï㽶ÊÓƵ, whether it be a physician at the local hospital, community office, or clinic, or at the Ï㽶ÊÓƵ Wellness Centre, they will be requested to pay a physician fee before being seen by the physician. The receipt can be sent to the Province of Quebec for reimbursement.
