Additional information

While in Canada and registered at Western, your students will be automatically enrolled in the University Health Insurance Plan (UHIP) (approximately $260/term). This plan is mandatory for all international students and it is very difficult to receive an exemption. While UHIP covers most doctor and hospital visits, it does not include any supplemental coverage for things such as prescription medications, massage therapy, dental, physiotherapy, etc. Therefore, we strongly recommend for your students to buy a supplementary health insurance, in addition to UHIP.

For information about UHIP and what is included in the coverage please visit: www.uhip.ca.
