International student insurance coverage

[yma981]

Hi

My wife is coming as an international student to UQAM Montreal. Does her international student insurance cover pregnancy?

Hi

You would need to look at the specific terms of the insurance. As per the terms of her study permit, your wife is required to actively pursue her studies. If she stops studying, her study permit may be invalidated. This may pose an issue for keeping her health coverage.

Please can anyone be more specific?

About the case of international student insurance and pregnancy, is it covered in Quebec?

No, it's not covered under a 'provincial health insurance plan' (unless you are from a country with which Quebec has a social security agreement).
