Healthcare Services/Insurance
There is no in-house medical physician at Brookes College, and we are NOT responsible for Students’ health Insurance and other insurance required while studying with us. Our practicum students on placement are temporarily covered by Brookes College’s Workers Compensation policy.
However, an international student with/without a family (including spouse and children) that plans to reside in Alberta for more than 12 months with a valid study permit, may be eligible to apply for Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan (AHCIP) after they arrive.
Alberta Health requires applicants to include one of the following documents from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) with your application for the Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan (AHCIP) coverage.
Acceptable proof of enrolment documents are:
- a letter from the Registrar, with the Registrar’s signature or certification
- a letter of enrolment printed from the college in official letter pad
- a printout of confirmation of course registration from college
