I am moving from Australia to Vancouver in August, obviously I will have my normal travel insurance, but since I will be in vancouver for 2 years on a working visa - I would be looking at getting something alot cheaper than travel insurance. What would be the best option for me? I thought about just getting travel insurance for the first month or 2, then once I am settled down look for a cheaper option. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks

The government health care plan in BC is called BC Medical Services Plan(BCMSP), and their website will have info on whether or not you would qualify for it, or at least you can email to ask. Even if you qualify, there will be a waiting period of between 2 and 3 months after you apply before it comes into effect so be sure to have travel medical insurance in place during that time. If you don't qualify for the government plan, there are private companies who will sell you medical coverage. Pacific Blue Cross is one, Great West Life is another.

I'm 15 and might become an exchange student for a year when I'm 16, one of the requirements is to have travel insurance, but I'm confused. Does health insurance come thish the travel insurance?
And how much is annual travel health insurance in the UK tyoically? Do you have to pay weekly? or do you just pay once for the whole year and you're covered?
Please explain to me, thanks.

It's pretty unlikely that your health insurance in the USA will cover ANYTHING that happens out of the country.
Usually, you'd buy the travel insurance up front. Sometimes, you can continue to renew it month to month.

Q. Im unsure on whether travel insurance would cover any possible medical treatment i might need, or is that under health insurance. I cant find any basic information on which type of insurance covers me. Does travel insurance mean im only covered for travel and belongings or does it cover any emergency medical treatment i might need?
Answer
Travel insurance will cover emergency medical treatment - illnesses or injuries that occur whilst you are in the USA. Health insurance is to pay the cost of non-urgent treatment that you decide to have.
