Saskatoon International Education will automatically take out a comprehensive health insurance policy through guard.me. To find out the benefits received through this plan, please visit our
Health Insurance page, which has links to the benefits summary and coverage details of the plan. If you require an Ingle Lewer benefit summary in another language, please make a request to our office at

Our Saskatoon International Education team will work with students during the welcome and orientation meeting to complete a Saskatchewan health card application for students who will be staying in Saskatoon longer than one year and have a study permit. The comprehensive health plan through Ingle Lewer provides significantly more insurance coverage than the Saskatchewan health card does and is available immediately. The health card may be required for longer term students to access extra services such as Drivers’ Education.
