Health and safety in Canada

Canadian universities are conscious of the safety of students on their campuses. Most universities and colleges have 24-hour campus security.

The Canadian government has launched ‘Walk Safe’ campaigns to help students safely use public transport late in the evening.

In Canada, each province or territory manages its own healthcare system, which covers the costs of Canadian citizens’ visits to hospitals and doctors. Virtually all Canadian tertiary institutions have medical insurance plans available for international students.
