As a registered student, you are automatically covered by Memorial's Foreign Health Plan A; however, your dependents are not automatically covered under this plan. If your spouse and/or children are accompanying you to Canada, you can opt in your dependents to the Foreign Health Insurance Plan A by purchasing insurance directly from the provider.

To do this, go to  and select dependents of students, as applicable. For more information, click here.

Is my family covered by GSU/MUNSU extended health insurance (Green Shield)?

Depending on your circumstances, you may be eligible to cancel your Foreign Health Insurance Plan A  and transfer your health coverage to Foreign Health Plan B + a student union plan if certain conditions are met.

Student union health insurance plans (MUNSU for undergraduate students and GSU for Graduate students) have different coverage than the Foreign Health Plan. For information about student health insurance plans, visit our health website. If you are covered by one of the student union health plans, you must contact them to find out how to opt-in your dependents to their health plan.
