Consequently, UQAM charges all international students mandatory insurance fees of CAN$ 87 per month, or CAN$ 348 per semester. These fees may change without prior notice. The Quebec government and certain countries have concluded reciprocal agreements dealing with social security including a section on health which allows those countries’ citizens to receive certain benefits. These countries include: Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Greece, Luxemburg, Norway, Portugal and Sweden.

However, an insurance from your country of origin would be accepted in order to cancel insurance fees for the period going from May 1st to August 31st. 3 ESG UQAM Recognized for the quality of its practice-oriented education, the excellence of its applied research, and its international presence, the School of Management (ESG UQAM) asserts its leadership with a bold vision for the future.
