Current Employees

You can enroll for your benefits during one of these occurrences:

• Open Enrolment — the dates are usually announced in early March
• Within the first 31 days of your new hire date or when you become newly eligible for benefits
• If you experience a qualified life event, such as marriage, divorce, birth or adoption of a child

What if I choose to wait to enrol?

If you decline to enrol in benefits, you won’t be able to enrol until the next annual enrolment period, unless you have a qualified life event.

If you are a parent with one or more child(ren), or if your spouse/partner has other coverage but you want to cover your child(ren) under your plan, you may want to choose this category.

Married

If you want to cover yourself and your spouse/partner, you may want to choose this category.
