2. Insurance
Health Insurance (OHIP) is no longer provided free of charge
by the Ontario government. All foreign students on student
visas must ensure that they have private health insurance when
they arrive in Canada. Otherwise, students may purchase
insurance upon arrival at school. The prices vary depending on
the type of insurance that they need. The cost is based on the
student’s age and the sum to be insured. An average amount
would be about $ 90.00 - 100.00 (CAD $) per month.
3. Expenses
You should allow for weekly expenditures of at least $75-$100
(CAD$). This includes extra meals, the cost of transportation
and any other extra-curricular activities. Light refreshments,
such as sandwiches and soft drinks, can be obtained from
cafeterias near the school.
