Interns are responsible to ensure they are covered under a provincial health plan. If for some reason you feel that it does not cover everything, please feel free to obtain additional health coverage. It is the intern's responsibility to read the information and to know what the health plan covers. Some countries may require that you have immunizations. We strongly recommend that you go to your doctor as soon as you are accepted into the program to find out which immunizations you will need.
Interns are responsible for covering the cost of their immunizations.
It is your responsibility to arrange for personal property insurance that covers theft and loss or damage to your personal belongings while overseas. Visas Interns are responsible for obtaining the necessary visas to work in the country of their host organization. IISD will assist in making the necessary arrangements and cover the cost of the visas for the duration of your assignment overseas. Passport All interns are required to obtain a passport at their own expense and must send a copy of the information page upon acceptance of the placement. You can pick up an application at your nearest post office.
