Legal Care

The GSA offers graduate students Legal Care program through a partnership with Studentcare. This program offers services such as housing disputes, employment disputes, public notaries and more.

Seeking legal counsel can be intimidating and resolving a dispute can be difficult, especially since finding and engaging a lawyer is often a lengthy and costly process.

Through a partner law firm, students have access to a legal consultation service to consult a duly certified lawyer regarding any legal question. Students can also seek legal representation within their province of study, when their case qualifies for further counsel.

All pertinent information regarding the Studentcare plans can be found on their website.
