Travelling Out of Country

When travelling employees should note there are exclusions that apply under the benefit policies pertaining to war, civil commotion, riot and insurrection. For further information regarding these exclusions please contact Employee Benefits. 

 

Travelling Out of Country for more than 180 days

If you plan to travel outside of Canada for more than 180 days, you are required to contact Nova Scotia MSI because you may be eligible for an extension of MSI coverage. Please contact benefits@dal.ca if your MSI coverage ends as your participation in the group health and dental plan is dependant on having active provincial health coverage.

Please note: travel coverage is limited to the first 180 days of a trip. If you are taking an approved Sabbatical leave out of country for a period of more than 180 days, please contact benefits@dal.ca as a travel coverage extension may be possible but more information will be required before this can be determined. Travel extensions are not possible in other situations.
