Domestic Ontario students are covered by OHIP, which is the equivalent of the Basic Green Shield Health Insurance Plan. Canadian students from other provinces should also be covered by their respective provincial insurance plan if they do not meet the eligibility criteria for OHIP.

The government of Ontario also provides many other programs to offset your medical costs, and you may be eligible for some of them. Visit these websites for more information:
