Health & Dental Insurance

I believe in protecting myself and my family from the high costs of healthcare

Depending on your needs and budget, we have a plan that's perfectly suited to you. IAP's Health & Dental Insurance is designed to provide the extra coverage you need but don't receive through your provincial health plan. Enjoy the peace of mind that extended health insurance and dental care can bring to you and your family.

Members and their spouses are eligible to apply for Health & Dental Insurance if they are under age 61, reside in Canada and are enrolled in a provincial health plan.

Member, as defined under the plan, includes alumni members, employees, faculty members and registered students.

Employee means a person who is employed with the University/College or Alumni Association at their Canadian operation on a full-time basis.

Registered student means a person who is enrolled in at least three courses of study at the University/College in a given year.

Spouse means the legal or common-law spouse of an eligible Member. Legal spouse means a person who is legally married and cohabiting with the Member and with whom there is no formal or informal agreement of separation. Common-law spouse means a person who has been cohabiting in a marriage-like relationship with the Member for at least 12 consecutive months.

You can also apply for Health & Dental Insurance for your dependent children if they reside in Canada and are enrolled in a provincial health plan.

Dependent Children means any natural child, step-child or legally adopted child of an eligible Member who is :

  • over 14 days of age and under 21 years of age, unmarried and receives full parental support and maintenance, or
  • 21 years of age or over but under 25 years of age, unmarried and receives full parental support and maintenance for reason of full-time attendance at a recognized school, college or university.

Mentally or physically disabled children may remain covered past 21 years of age, provided they are incapable of self-sustaining employment and receive full parental support and maintenance from the Member.
