You must be under age 60, be in good health and know of no reason to seek treatment or medical consultation as of the time you apply for coverage and as of the policy effective date.

If you have a spouse and/or dependent children who will reside with you in Canada during your study term, you may apply to have them covered as dependents on your policy. Please see the definition of Spouse and Dependent Child below, or in the policy wording.
