Student Extended Health Plan
All full-time students who have paid the extended health plan fee are automatically enrolled in the
guard.me Extended Health Plan@Canadore.
This website provides Canadore College students with policy information and the tools to compare each of the 3 Plan options.
The website also provides important information on how to submit and monitor your claims, manage your account, and many other
useful features. If you wish to select an alternate plan, add dependents or opt-out of the health plan, you must do so prior
