Health insurance
Immigration Quebec regulations require that all international students be covered by a health insurance plan that meets government standards, while studying in Quebec. In keeping with this government directive, Concordia University has negotiated a compulsory health and accident insurance plan with Blue Cross at a competitive cost that all Concordia international students must have. Consequently, personal health insurance plans are not accepted. Students may opt to take couple or family coverage at an additional cost.
Please download and review your Blue Cross Health Insurance Policy Booklet carefully for the details of your coverage. Register and print your Blue Cross card online (see below). Blue Cross also offers additional services.
