Before participating in a campus, it is mandatory and your responsability to verify your insurance coverage and obtain medical travel insurance.
For all campuses, it is mandatory to be covered by medical travel insurance for the whole duration of the trip and to give a copy to the program coordinators before departure. This insurance must include coverage for all medical expenses related to COVID-19.
For campuses in a province other than Quebec, complementary medical insurance is necessary even for participants with a RAMQ card, because this card does not cover all medical acts in other provinces. For participants who do not have a RAMQ card, medical insurance must be valid in Canada in all provinces concerned by the campus. For campuses in Quebec, a copy of the valid RAMQ card will be requested.
