International Students Effective June 11, 2007, the Provincial Government will be extending health care coverage under the province's Medical Care Plan (MCP) to international students undertaking post-secondary studies in Newfoundland and Labrador. The program applies to any foreign individual issued an official study permit by Citizenship and Immigration Canada before entering the country. The individual must be attending an educational institution in Newfoundland and Labrador for a period of at least 12 months. Dependents of the student will also be covered under MCP, provided they are living in the province and have relevant documentation to support their application. Coverage will become effective for eligible students on the date of arrival in the province or the effective date of the study permit, whichever is later. Coverage terminates upon expiry of the study permit or the date of departure from Newfoundland and Labrador, whichever is earlier. All applicants must complete a form for coverage under MCP.
