Canadian students from outside Canada are eligible to apply for free provincial basic health insurance (Ontario Health Insurance Plan) while studying in Ontario. You are eligible to apply for the University Health Insurance Plan (UHIP) if you have no health or hospital insurance valid in Ontario during OHIP's 3-month waiting period. Application forms are available at the Queen's University International Centre (QUIC). For more information, see the Queen's University International Centre.
