The provincial government says international students studying in New Brunswick will now have access to Medicare. International students who have a valid study permit and provide proof of full-time registration as a student at a university or college, as well as their spouses and dependants, will be eligible for coverage. The province estimates the change will affect 3,000 full-time international students and cost between $275,000 and $325,000 per year.
