Life Events

Life events are significant occurrences such as getting married, having a child, or losing your employee group benefits.

These life events may make you eligible to make changes to your health insurance plan outside of the normal open enrollment periods.

For instance, if you have recently had a child, you can potentially add them to your plan within a certain period without needing the child to qualify medically—usually within 30 days of birth.

If you've experienced a life event, please contact support@aeva.ca at your earliest convenience so that we can assist with potential next steps where appropriate.

There are several ideal times to apply for health and dental insurance. Here are the key instances when you should consider it:

• When you are young and have relatively little health history.
• When you turn 21 and are no longer a 'dependent' under your parents' plan. This could extend to age 25 if you were a full-time student attending post-secondary (depending on the plan your parents have).
• When you become a Canadian citizen and are covered by a provincial government health care plan.
• When you leave your employer and lose your employee group benefits (applying within 60 days is best).
• When you separate from a spouse and need to find your own plan.
• When you decide to become self-employed.
• When your employee group benefits are insufficient, and you wish to supplement with your own plan.
