The benefit period may be extended by presenting an authorization for a student extension from Canada Immigration . International students who have previously resided in another Canadian province, and who move to Saskatchewan, are not covered by the Saskatchewan Health Plan for a period of 90 days. Some of the provinces from which a student might transfer will continue their Health Insurance support program for these three months and others will not. Students who are not covered by a provincial plan must acquire private insurance for this period of time. All international students should immediately contact the International Student Office regarding their eligibility for the Saskatchewan Health Plan.
Family members accompanying students are subject to the same health care considerations.
