All students must maintain British Columbia Medical Services Plan (BC MSP) membership while attending the College. The College is not liable for any medical or dental expenses. Students from outside British Columbia, particularly International students, must obtain Visitors to Canada medical insurance to provide them with coverage for the first 90 days upon arrival in Canada. This 90-day waiting period is required by the BC government in order to process the student's application for BC MSP and is governed by the BC MSP Act. The BC MSP card becomes effective 90 days after your arrival in BC and the temporary Visitors to Canada medical insurance expires accordingly. Students from other Canadian provinces must also obtain BC MSP. They should check with their respective provincial medical services plan to verify what coverage would apply until they receive their new BC MSP card.
