I am an international student


As an international student, you make the same type of appointment that a Canadian student would make.

If you are unsure where to go for medical assistance, please call or visit Health Services first. We can assess your need and redirect, if necessary, to other health-care providers.

Please note that Emergency Room visits are for emergency care (time sensitive/life-threatening). If you arrive at the Emergency Department for assistance and and you do not require emergency care, you may have a very long wait time before being assessed.
