How can I get primary insurance to cover the extra days between my early arrival in Canada and when my first term begins?
Your guard.me@SFU plan is valid for four months and will be effective from the first day of the first month of your first term (i.e., September 1, January 1, or May 1), depending on when you join SFU. You may purchase insurance if you arrive before any of those dates to ensure you have no gaps in coverage.
