Accommodations
Having a comfortable place to stay while you study is important to make the most of your time here.

Health Care
It is essential that all international students have medical insurance to cover any health care costs while they are studying at CTC.
Your home country may offer student / travel medical insurance options. However, the benefit of purchasing coverage from a Canadian company ensures that Canadian hospitals are able to bill the insurance company directly, so you don’t have to worry about covering bills up front.
If you have questions about medical coverage, please speak to your Admissions Advisor who can help you with the process.
