Hey , Thanks for the reply. hope you doing great there. I heard for PG course the school does not cover insurance hence i need to buy my insurance for meds and regular checkup . Will it cost me a lot ?
Stan, it depends on where you are going for school. And for international students, it is usually there in the fees unless it is provided by the province. Then you have to apply for that. For example, I am in British Columbia. There is MSP here which is government insurance. I pay around 70CAD per month to be covered. HIV medicines, testing and any other STI treatment are covered by MSP. similarly, please find out which province you are going to and how much you would have to pay out of pocket.
Here is a summary of the details you need. Please follow the link below:

There is a plan specifically for international students that you pay into callwd UHIP.
This really paved way for breaking the stigma attached with the virus. Did you ask for the help of an immigration consultant for your student permit process? How long did it take for you to be able to receive your student visa? After your studies, are you also planning to apply for permanent residence? Thanks for giving your kindest response and keep safe.
wow! congrats bro! what were the extra tests done? and how did you defend it in your sop? thanks!
