Healthcare in NL
MCP - Provincial healthcare
MCP is the healthcare coverage provided by the province of Newfoundland and Labrador at no charge to you, but you must apply to receive it and be eligible for it.
International students who received a study permit by Citizenship and Immigration Canada before entering the country and are attending a recognized post-secondary educational institution in Newfoundland and Labrador for a period of at least 12 months might be eligible for this coverage. Dependents of the student will also be covered under MCP, provided they are living in the province and have relevant documentation to support their application.
